Rye - Dark Rye A dark rye bread. Good with beer and cheddar cheese! I haven't added any seed flavorings yet because folks associate a distaste for rye breads because of the seeds. And that's too bad because this bread is really good without them.
In bosch mixer combine:
50 oz warm water 8 oz starter 6 oz molasses (or 10 oz) 2 oz unsweetened cocoa powder 16 oz whole grain rye flour 2 T salt ~For crispy crust artisan: 58 oz white artisan bread flour ~For softer pan bread: 20 oz all-purpose and 40 artisan *(add 2 oz more flour if you increased the molasses) Mix thoroughly with half the flour added. Then add the rest and mix just until a thick, dense, shaggy dough forms. If you work the gluten now it is really difficult to get the oil worked in later. Rest 1 hour. Work in: 4 oz healthy oil (avocado oil) *Optionally add: 1 t yeast knead and rest until the oil is in. Knead until a smooth dough forms and the oil is worked in. Knead and rest in the mixer because it is a sticky dough, however, not gooey and too slack. Knead and rest until it eventually cleans the sides and you can see linear stretchy gluten development. Turn out into two bowls, 4 qt sized, (72 oz each bowl). Stretch and fold, right in the bowls, until the dough is springy. Rest and fold (stretch) as necessary. Rise: *10-12 hours in cool place *12 or so hours in fridge (finish on counter, it won't be finished after the 12 hours) *6-8 hours in warmer place Divide into: 4 loaves - 36 oz each loaf. Rise in dry floured cloth lined bowls. 4 loaves - 36 oz each loaf in parchment lined loaf pans. 6 loaves - 24 oz each loaf - rise in cereal bowls. Cover with wet towel and rise 2-4 hours until puffy. Turn out to bake on the stone. Or in the loaf pans. Spray well with water, wait 5 min and spray again, wait 5 min again. Flour well and score. Bake with steam at convection bake 450* about 15 minutes, then 375 to finish about another 25-40 more minutes until internal temp registers 200*+. ***Be careful baking, this is an enriched dough with a good amount of molasses and can burn.
