Rye Bread
by:
Rye bread made with a natural starter or even with yeast and organic rye flour will likely taste like nothing you've ever experienced. The full complex flavor of rye, unaltered by the presence of caraway seeds (a pernicious habit that obscures the more subtle flavor of the rye), is so striking that you're likely to declare it the best bread you've ever tasted. This recipe produces a deep rye flavor and is designed to conform to your schedule and level of enthusiasm. The quickest and easiest approach doable in an afternoon is to make a sponge out of some of the flour, water, and yeast and let it rise at room temperature. The longer method - doable in 2 days is made with a sourdough starter. Makes 2 baguettes, 1 boule, or 1 bâtard.
