Yield Makes 1 ten-to twelve-inch round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 envelope dry yeast (1/4 ounce)
1/2 cup warm water
4 cups buttermilk
9 to 10 cups rye flour, plus more for work surface, baking sheet, and hands
4 teaspoons salt
Canola or vegetable oil, for bowl

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and the warm water; let stand until yeast is dissolved and bubbles form on the surface, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat buttermilk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is warm to the touch, and add to yeast mixture. Using a wooden spoon, gradually stir 3 cups flour into yeast mixture until it is combined but mixture is still soupy. Cover with a kitchen towel; let stand in a warm place 8 to 12 hours.
  • Add 1 cup flour to mixture, and let stand, covered, 12 hours more.
  • Add 5 cups flour and the salt, and stir until mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a well-floured work surface, and knead 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary; the dough will be very sticky. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until it is doubled, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly dust parchment with flour. Using floured hands, punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Form into a large round loaf. Place on prepared baking sheet, and cover with a damp kitchen towel; let rise until dough is doubled and beginning to crack on the surface, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Bake until loaf is nicely golden and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom, about 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out at all. It was dense and gummy and had no flavor.

This bread is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try using less sourdough starter next time.

This bread is so dense and heavy. It's not at all what I expected.

I've made this rye sourdough bread several times now, and it always turns out perfect. The crust is crispy, the crumb is soft and chewy, and the flavor is out of this world. My family and friends love it!
