Does anyone have a fairly simple recipe for a German style rye bread-not 100% rye, that can be easily converted to baking in a bread pan? I have attempted to simply switch up the type of flour and use rye in my standard recipe, but I have inconsistent results.
This is the recipe I use for my every day sour dough-
~200 grams starter
616 grams water
1100 grams flour
~2 tsp salt
I mix the starter in the water, then add the flour and mix in the KA until just combined, and then let it sit for 20 minutes.
I then knead until it makes a nice ball ( I vary how I knead depending on how busy I am, either with the KA, a slap and fold, or regular kneading- or any combination there of)
I either let it rise for 2 hours, then deflate, let rise again for about 2 hours, shape into the loaves, and let rise while the oven preheats, or I immediately put in the fridge to rise until I get home from work the next day, then shape, let rise, and bake, oh and I slash the loaf down the middle .
I bake at 450 for 50 minutes- 30 minutes with the pan covered, 20 minutes uncovered.
This recipe has been very forgiving and lets me flex it around what is going on with the 4-7 children work, and life in general and still have fairly consistent results. I have not been able to incorporate rye into this with any consistent results. I have been able to make it using whole wheat, half whole wheat, sprouted wheat, and any combination of those.
TIA for any input or suggestions.

Happy rye baking
...check out page 237 for a 70% Rye with a rye soaker and whole wheat flour. The dough is quite sticky but if you keep your hands and utensils wet, the recipe is easy to make.
