Rye Bread

[wrathex]

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

Baked with caraway seeds.

That looks very good can you show us the inside?

Is it 100% rye or a mixture?

Recipe?

 

[copacetic]

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.

Baked with caraway seeds.

Not my style/taste, but to each his/her own.

I wonder why the colour is so different. The bread I mentioned above is also 100% rye and as I said its pitch black.

Looks decent. Wonder if it'll work in my breadmaker...

 

[bwana]

Looks nice. I prefer a rye bread that's made with a starter rather than yeast but to each their own.
