Rye Sourdough Bread

Ingredients - Serves 12

Let's Get Started

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, bread flour, water, and sourdough starter.
  2. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
  3. After the resting period, sprinkle the salt over the dough and knead it for about 5 minutes until the salt is fully incorporated.
  4. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 2-3 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  7. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to create decorative slashes.
  8. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
