First time working with rye flour! I only added 200g to my 1000g recipe, so the other 800g was strong bread flour, but the difference in dough consistency was very noticeable. I also used my 100% rye starter.
Recipe:
800g strong bread flour
200g wholewheat rye flour
250g rye starter
21g salt
720g lukewarm water
Method:
Mix dry ingredients and water, let autolyze for an hour, then add starter. Mix and knead until starter is fully incorporated. 3-4 sets of stretch and folds, then 2 sets coil folds, at 30min intervals. Then let BF on counter for a couple of hours until I felt it was ready (I try to be methodical, but I find that sourdough baking is like 20% method, 80% intuitive), then pre-shaped, rest for 30min, shape, in the fridge overnight. Bake in DO at 240°C covered for 30min, then 20-25min uncovered at 220°C. Loaf on the right could have done with a spritz of water for extra steam, oven spring isn't as good as loaf on the left. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this first attempt. They look and smell delicious, and I have good faith the crumb is good as well. I bake to freeze, so no crumb shot today, but might update on crumb when I do cut them open.
