Once you have a starter that’s at least three days old, take a cup and a half, pour it into a mixing bowl and add the following ingredients:

Keyword Rye Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 1.5 cups wheat flour type 550 or all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup spring water
  • 1-2 tsp salt (depends on your preference)
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil for greasing the walls of your baking dish

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients and mix them all together.

  2. Grease two loaf-pans with some olive oil and pour the mixture into the baking dish. Fill it only half way to allow for the dough to rise. If the dough is very sticky, wet your hands and gently brush the surface with wet fingertips.

  3. Cover the pans with a dish cloth. Let the dough raise until double in size. In some cases this might take 5-6 hours depending on the strength of the starter and temperature in the room.

  4. Warm up the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (about 200 Celsius) and bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes.
