I just baked a rye bread, my second baking. The first time the bread had a pale and hard crust, tasted good.

I just had a slice of this one and it has a lovely chewy crust, so my with my succes, my plan is to become a very good rye bread baker :D

Baked with caraway seeds.

That looks very good can you show us the inside?

Is it 100% rye or a mixture?

Recipe?
 
As pooky says, 100%, or mixture?

I would kill for a good 100% recipe, in fact I'm sure I made a thread about it a while ago...

Looks delicious.
 
I was looking for rye flour yesterday for this very reason. Couldnt find any at the supermarket. Do tell?
 
Rye bread rocks. Especially for toasted sandwiches - more accurately rye bread, then tomatoe, the cheese on to & stick it in an oven at 180C. Add salt & pepper. Cheese/tomatoe makes it delicious & rye adds a wholesome feels to the taste.

For those not baking DIY, check out "black forest" branded rye bread from Spar. Its near pitch black so takes some getting used to but works well for the above. Better talk to Spar staff though...they don't receive a lot & its gone wicked fast so timing is everything. Might also be regional...dunno.

Not my style/taste, but to each his/her own. :)
 
500gr rye flour
500gr brown bread flour
700gr milk/water warm
a sachet instant yeast
20 gr salt
tablespoon brown sugar
tablespoon of molasses


mix all, knead
place in your car to rise for hour
knock back, (knead again - short)
let is rise for another hour, on the baking sheet
then pop in oven
190c 35 - 40 minutes

I wonder why the colour is so different. The bread I mentioned above is also 100% rye and as I said its pitch black.
 
So yummy and beautiful. I think you are already a good rye bread baker seeing as it was your 2nd try :D.
 
Mmm, yum! Rye with carraway seeds is the best!

Thanks for sharing the receipe with us :)
 
Looks nice. I prefer a rye bread that's made with a starter rather than yeast but to each their own.
