I think I want to try baking a dark rye bread this week
@MLE_online Rye can be fickle. Parts take much longer and others take much less time than wheat breads. A properly hydrated rye dough is also much, much stickier and paste-like than you may be used to.
Have fun! It's delicious, even when things don't go ideally.
@foxxtrot That's good to know! Something that goopy might require me to give careful consideration of what I bake it in
@MLE_online @foxxtrot
Are we talking dark rye as in pumpernickel or dark rye as in bread simply made with dark rye flour?
Because I make the latter weekly. Sourdough.
It is a sticky affair. If I want a decent rise it needs a pretty wet dough. Not a pleasure to handle.
@botvolution @foxxtrot I have not yet decided! I have dark rye flour, but making a pumpernickel might be fun.
