This weekend, I tried my hand at baking with rye flour for the first time.
I usually stick to wheat, spelt, or mixed grain breads, but this time I was determined to bake a pure rye loaf.
For context, rye is a bit special. You can't just use a good yeast and be done with it. Instead, it's a process that requires cultivating a sourdough starter and carefully controlling the dough's resting time; otherwise, the bread won't be digestible.
The conditions were finally right, so I made time for it... and the result is fantastic (unfortunately, I have no pictures). In my opinion, it's the best-tasting bread I've baked so far. The texture and the slightly sour aftertaste are perfect.
Baking bread has truly become a passion of mine
