Seeded Rye Pan Loaf
Tried something a bit different this weekend. My wife was a bit tired of my extra crusty country loaves and requested something a bit softer and preferably a rye. I’m very pleased with the result and thought I would share my recipe. I had a hard time finding a recipe I liked so I created one after a bit of reading. Hydration was approx 82% but the dough was very cooperative. It was difficult to get my head around the fact that the dough at 78f only increased in volume approx 30%. I used the fermentation compass and found it to be a very useful tool.
Added a rye porridge to keep the loaf a bit softer but did score it so I could get a few crusty bits.
