May I ask a favor?  Would you edit the post to include space between sentences and breaks between paragraphs, please?  The post will be so much easier to read afterwards.  This looks like a bread that deserves an easy-to-read write-up.

I just tried to do this and it is a format peculiarity with this site. Just do a cut and paste to an editable format.

If you create a document then copy and paste onto this site the format goes haywire. It can be fixed but it's not as easy as writing it from scratch. 

Very nice rye loaf. Looks delicious.

Well-I see it is tough to fix. Thanks you Abe.

It was easy to fix. See my post below.

Please check the temps or other errors. I put in celcius and fahrenheit where missing and added the 500f in square brackets.

Domberger rye bread-single loaf

NOTE: not my recipe. I just reformatted it.

https://m.tagesspiegel.de/.../backen-mit.../19688214.html

Rye bread

(Amount makes one loaf)                             

Make basic sourdough        

  • 8 g sourdough culture (see booty bread recipe)
                      
  • 80 g organic wholemeal rye flour (eg "Lichtkorn")
  • 
80 g water
  1. Mix all ingredients and let rise as warm as possible (ideally 21C to 25 Cdegrees) for 16 to 24 hours.(70-77 degrees F). Best close to 24 hours.

Use it to make whole sourdough

  • 168 g basic sourdough

  • 120 g organic wholemeal rye flour

  • 213 ml water (26C degrees)(80 degrees F)
  1. Knead everything slowly together until a very sticky dough is formed.
  2. Let rise for three to four hours at 25C to 32C degrees(77-90 degrees F).
  3. The sourdough should have a lively bubble and taste pleasantly sour. Bubbliciousness!

Making bread dough

  • 497 g wholemeal sourdough
  • 300 g wholemeal rye flour
  • 
5 g salt

  • 125 ml water (26C degrees)(80 degrees F)—95g water is good to start with.
  1. Knead everything together by hand, keeping the temperature of the dough high (approx. 30C degrees)(86 degrees F).
  2. After resting for 60 to 70 minutes, shape it into a round shape.
  3. Place lightly floured in a bowl with the overlapping end facing down and let rest for another 20 minutes at room temperature-I have kept it closer to 30 minutes at 90 degrees F.

To Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to a good 260C degrees [500f?] (preferably bake on a stone plate, but you can also do without it).
  2. The heat should surround the bread as quickly as possible during baking. The easiest way to do this is to spray water on the wall of the hot oven with a spray bottle. Two to three splashes are enough.
  3. Slide in bread and after 20 minutes reduce the oven temperature to 190C degrees(375 degrees F).
  4. Bake for another 25 minutes.
  5. To check, take the bread out of the oven after baking and briefly tap on something hard - it should sound hollow.
  6. Let it cool down, ideally let it rest overnight so that the bread aroma can develop optimally.

Hydration is 84 % as written. 504g flour and 422g water. 77% with 95g water in final dough.

What I did for the old bread was :

  1. I took 50g old rye bread and dried/baked in an oven and then added boiling water and let it soak overnight.
  2. In the morning I squeezed out the excess water and mushed it with a fork until it was in crumbs.
  3. I added it to the second stage of the levain and did not change the proportions but cut back on water in final mix to 100g.

Wow! Thank you for doing this rewrite/reformatting. This "recipe" is a combination of translation of the reference, a correction to basic sourdough as well as additional notes.
