Discussion: Another selection from 'The Rye Baker'. This bread consists of 2 sponge stages and the main dough so it's an easy bake. In Stanley's formula he specifies either fine rye meal or medium rye flour, I chose fine rye meal. After waiting the recommended 24 hours to taste, I find the crust chewy, probably from the long bake, and the crumb is tender with a nice sourness. It's tasty alone as a snack or topped with goat cheese or Gouda.
Make again? - Yes definitely.

Good color, well-aerated crumb, and no flying roof. Lots to like in this bake.
