1 cup bread flour

Here is how you make Sourdough Rye Bread:

For this recipe you have to either make your own sourdough starter, or find one. Mine came from the friends of Carl Griffith - see http://carlsfriends.net/.To feed the starter, add 1 cup of bread flour and 1 cup of whey to the 1 quart jar that had the starter before. Let it sit lightly covered on the counter for about 24 hours (till bubbles and rises). Then it can br used fir making bread, of stored in the fridge.To make the bread, add all the starter from the night before, or if stored in the fridge - from the fridge, to a large bowl (do nor wash the starter jar, what's left on the walls is enough to start it again for the next batch; feed the starter). Add 1.3 cups of whey and all the other ingredients, mix together just to incorporate everything into rather wet but not runny dough. If not wet enough, or too wet - add a bit whey or flour as needed.Cover and let rise for 12 to 24 hours (depends on the strength of the starter and room temperature).When ready - place into the loaf pan sprayed with oil and let sit in the cold oven till rises again, usually 2 - 3 hours.Turn the oven to 435 F and bake for 40 minutes. Should sound hollow when tapped when ready.Turn out onto the rack and let cool before slicing.May use water instead of whey, may use different flour(s) as well. If using rye flour more than one half of all flour will have to all a Tbsp of vital wheat gluten per cup of rye flour for adequate crumb structure.Serving Size:?100 grams (1 large slice)Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AGD937.
