Lovely well-developed crumb there, my my! and a baby turtle too what fun. Do you have friends who enjoy the rye as much as you? Him indoors avoids it like nobody’s business. Where do you source your rye flour Heidi? Is it a local mill that you use?
I share the rye with my sister, and always have some on hand when my daughter- in-law comes to visit.
The rye flour I get from the local farmer’s market during the summer and during the winter from an Amish bulk store.
Sourdough rye…Mmmm Heidiannie- delicious. That loaf looks awesome. Perfectly rounded, perfect colouring and cute turtles to boot.
Thanks Brydie.
I have such a good time making the turtles for my grandson- he kisses them before he eats them.
This time he kissed me, too!:)
Heidi, you make the cutest things from bread! Gorgeous crumb on your rye – I always end up with a brick-like loaf. Is your bread all rye flour, or a blend with bakers flour?
I use about 2 cups of high gluten bread flour with the rye flour. this loaf I mixed kneaded and shaped te loaf and let it raise overnight. Then I put it into the oven with a shot of steam the next morning.
I used sorghum molasses in this batch and I love the subtle under flavors as well as the earthy sourdough and rye.
Yum.
You make the best bread. Always enjoy having some. Thanks!
