Ballybrado Organic 100% Rye Sourdough Bread

So wholesome and tasty!

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients in bowl (best to use dough scraper or your hands). No need to stretch and fold; if it resembles a big mess you’re probably doing it right! There is not going to be much kneading and no window test either with this bread.
  2. Prove in covered bowl for approx. 2 – 3 hours. You should see cracks and small holes on the surface.
  3. Pour dough onto worktop. Knock back, try shape as round as you can.
  4. Place in heavily-dusted proving basket, dust on top too. Cover, leave to prove for approx. 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 230°C.
  6. Place bread onto parchment paper, leave to sit for 5 mins, then bake in oven (with steam) for approx. 45 mins. No need to score the bread.
  7. Leave bread cool fully and then rest for a minimum of 12 hours (if not 24) to allow flavours to develop and to avoid upset tummies

Tip: You can use this recipe with Ballybrado Organic Whole Light Rye Flour too! Light Rye behaves just like normal Rye, but is somewhat lighter in texture and colour.
