Cooking method

  • Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)Preparation of the starter culture. Stir the mature mother starter in the water, add the flour and stir the mixture until smooth. The consistency should be fairly strong and at the same time free enough for the leaven to "breathe". Sprinkle a thin layer of rye flour over the surface of the mixture. Cover the container with a cloth or plastic wrap and leave to mature for 14-16 hours at 21 C.
    Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)Adjust the ripening time of the starter in accordance with the temperature and humidity of the environment. Ripe leaven should have a raised surface and a pleasant sour aroma. If the leaven has fallen off, it means that it fermented for too long or in too warm a room. If the signs of ripening do not appear during the time allotted for fermentation, then either increase the temperature in the room or increase the fermentation time.
  • Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)For kneading dough the author recommends placing all the ingredients at once in the mixer bowl. Focusing on the peculiarities of my technique, it is more convenient for me to first add the prepared starter culture and water to the bowl, stir until smooth, and only then add the rest of the ingredients. Knead the dough in a mixer at the first speed - 3 minutes, and then another 3-4 minutes at the second speed. The gluten in the dough should be well developed and the desired dough temperature is 25-27 C.

    Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Divide the dough into two pieces, round and leave for 5-10 minutes, covered with foil to prevent crusting on the surface. After preliminary rounding, give the blanks a final round or oval shape.

    Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)Final proofing for 50-60 minutes at 25-27 C. In general, the bread should be loaded into the oven when its rise is 85 to 90% of the maximum possible volume. Bread that has been fully proofed is prone to settling in the oven.

    Bread with 40% rye flour and sourdough caraway seeds (J. Hamelman)Bake the bread at 235 C and medium steam for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 225 C and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until fully cooked, adjusting the time, if necessary, depending on the characteristics of your oven.

The dish is designed for

2 loaves.

Note

Recipe from the book "Bread. Technology and recipes", J. Hamelman.
* As an option, buns can be made from the dough according to this recipe, the baking time for buns weighing 100 g will be from 20 to 24 minutes, and you can also make salted bread sticks (Salzstangler), proofing and baking bread sticks decorated with salt and caraway seeds are carried out on disgusting.
** Bread has a pleasant rye taste and a fairly light texture, and a moderate pungency of taste can be removed by replacing whole-grain rye flour with peeled rye flour; replacement is perfectly acceptable for this recipe.
