How it went

  1. SoakerSeeds soaked overnight in equal weight of water.
  2. MixEverything at once. Rye doesn't need folds, just a good mix.
  3. Bulk2 hours at 26 °C.
  4. Pan & proofInto an oiled tin, proofed until cracks appeared on top (about 1 h 30 min).
  5. Bake230 °C for 15 min, then 200 °C for 45 min. Rested a full day before slicing.

The result

Example entry. Moist, sliceable crumb and a nutty flavour that got better on day two and three.

Next time

  • Try 50% rye.
  • Add a spoon of dark syrup for colour.
