Your bread is gorgeous, Ghazi, and it must taste great. Thanks for sharing your formula!

inside and out.  If it doesn't taste just as good as it looks then MO isn't a reincarnated Rye god:-)  I too freaked out when I found out from MO 100 % whole grain rye with Walnuts and then baked it,  Nothing like walnuts in just about anything I guess.  Walnuts are baking big today :-) Well Done adn

Happy Baking

Thank you all. Yes it tasted REALLY good subtle with a hint of sweet and overall just very smooth and tender

I seem to be going down the line with a little orange (maybe grapefruit if they look good) with spelt and rye. I don't know what it is but seems to suit them well. This after hearing good feeback from TFL. So much help from here don't know where id be with just my books

Such a special nut that walnut, kicks up to next level . Only MO of course setting the trend I think im almost converted to rye, but I still am in love with spelt that is if I can get it to behave. No more autolyse for spelt now and I hope I can get a loaf down me
