Marble Rye Experiment #1
Thought I'd try to make marble rye since I have both cream of rye flour and dark rye flour at present. Not bad for a first experiment but I think I need to cook it longer and slower and work more on the rolling. I thought I had it circling around itself into more of a spiral.
The basics of this loaf:
Dark rye: 50 g dark rye flour, 200 g strong bread flour, 5 g yeast, 5 g salt, and 50 g molasses, 150 g whey (left over from making ricotta)
Light rye: 70 g cream of rye flour, 280 g strong bread flour, 7 g yeast, 7 g salt, 280 g whey.
AP flour for rolling and caraway seed for the outside. Baked at 350 for 1 hour until 200 internal temp but probably needed a little more time in the oven for the dark to fully cook.
is my all time favorite bagel. I think I would like your bread too. I looks delectable. Love the whey water. You make cheese too? Very nice indeed HeidiH. I bet your bread is better just because you make cheese.
Milk + acid + heat = ricotta. It's really very simple. I've found that if I keep the milk temp 180F or below and drain the ricotta but don't squeeze it that it melts into a really creamy pasta sauce that seems like it was made with mascarpone -- and much cheaper. The whey is handy to use in bread or soup.
The swirl is better as I got to the middle of the bread but it still probably needed some more baking.
