Sweet Pan Rye with Whole Wheat
This loaf was made using the sponge and dough method. A KitchenAid K5SS stand mixer equipped with a spiral dough hook was employed. The sponge was set in the mixer bowl and covered with plastic wrap, then fermented for eight hours. The dough was re-mixed for a little over two minutes because of the high rye content.

unusual shape. Betit tastes fantastic too. So how long did it take to proof? Well done and
Happy Baking
The loaf took about 75 minutes to proof before being baked. Less yeast was used in this formula than in 100% wheat bread. The bread has a rich and complex flavor, being somewhat mild for rye.
The loaf of bread pictured in this blog use a total flour weight of 18 ounces (510 grams). To get the weight of each ingredient, multiply the total flour weight by the percentage listed for each ingredient.
Honey example: 18 x 0.056 = 1.008 oz, rounded to 1 ounce. 510g x 0.056 = 28.56 grams
