Whole Rye and Whole Wheat - Jeffery Hamelman's Bread

This is Whole Rye and Whole Wheat from Bread - A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes by  Jeffery Hamelman

I baked two loaves the other day of this delicious bread.  I have to say that I'm quite happy with the way they turned out. The crumb is mildly dense and has a nice, light tangy flavor. The crust is crisp and has toasty/roasted flavors. This bread will definitely go into the rotation. Recipe and process are below for those interested.

They baked up really well Tony, very well done.  The crumb looks perfect for 50% whole grain 50% of that being whole rye.

Hi Benny,

 

Thanks for the kind words. I find that I'm liking rye breads, more to come I think.
