- 440 grams Production rye sourdough
- 330 grams rye flour

- 200 grams water, at 40C
Directions
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Using wet hands, scoop up the dough and drop it into a well-greased loaf tin (or 2 smaller ones).
Cover loosely with a polythene bag and allow to prove (this could take anything from 2-8 hours, depending on the vigour of the sourdough and the temperature.
Bake in as hot an oven as possible (230C-240C), reducing the temperature by 20C after 10-15 minutes. Baking time for a large loaf will be 50-60 minutes, or 35-45 minutes for a small one.
