\"Sourdough<\/a> <\/p>\n

I have been getting no where fast.<\/p>\n

Lots of stuff is going on- but nothing is happening.<\/p>\n

I’m frustrated.<\/p>\n

In my life that means make and bake some bread.<\/p>\n

It is satisfying.<\/p>\n

It works.<\/p>\n

We end up with bread.<\/p>\n

So today was a marathon bread day.<\/p>\n

I made sourdough rye, old country rye and peasant bread.<\/p>\n

And I mixed them all together and made a braided loaf,<\/p>\n

and a marbled loaf…………………………………<\/p>\n

\"Sourdough<\/a> <\/p>\n

and a couple of plain sourdough rye loaves.<\/p>\n

Sourdough Rye is my favorite sourdough bread.<\/p>\n

You add the deep flavor of blackstrap molasses the tangy sourdough and the slightly sharp rye and caraway seed flavors and you have a masterpiece!<\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe-<\/p>\n

1 cup sourdough starter<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups bread flour<\/p>\n

3 cups rye flour<\/p>\n

2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup molasses<\/p>\n

2 TBS butter,melted<\/p>\n

1 cup very warm water<\/p>\n

2 TBS yeast<\/p>\n

Add yeast to water and proof for about 3 minutes ( you may add 1\/2 tsp sugar to get everything moving faster).  Mix together flours and salt in large bowl.  Make a well in the center of the flour and put the starter, butter, molasses and proofed yeast together and mix the flour into the center, drawing it down from the sides.<\/p>\n

You may need a little more warm water or a little more bread flour depending on the way your dough starts to set up together- if it looks dry and like there is too much flour- add water.  If it looks too sticky and the flour is all incorporated – add flour.  The dough should be tacky to the touch, but not sticky.  <\/p>\n

Flour your counter and dump dough onto flat surface.  Knead for at least 10 minutes and then put dough- gathered together into a ball- into an oiled bowl and cover.  Allow to raise for about an hour and a half and then shape into desired loaf. <\/p>\n

Roll out three different doughs and layer them on top of each other and then roll them tightly together, pinch ends and put into a loaf pan and let raise for about 45 minutes, then bake in 375 degree oven until brown , about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
