Separately, mix the flours and the salt, then mix all +ingredients until everything is hydrated. + +**Dough development and the first rise** + +You’ll want to do either the stretch and fold or traditional kneading, +though traditional will probably serve you better. Either way, it’ll +be a little tricky because the rye -- and there's a lot of it in this +bread -- will make the dough sticky. Keep at it. The dough will come +together, though it will be much more clay-like than a 100% wheat +dough. + +The first rise will take about 3 hours at room temperature. + +**Shaping** + +Rounds and batards are the traditional shapes. + +**Second rise** + +You can let it rise for another 2 hours at room temperature. You can +also speed things up (and increase sourness) by placing the dough on +an upturned bowl in the bottom of a picnic cooler, throwing a cup of +boiling water in the bottom and covering it quickly. After an hour, +throw another cup of hot water in. The rise should only take about 90 +minutes this way. + +**Baking** + +Score the bread as you like. Hash marks are traditional for rounds, +and batards usually take a single, bold stroke down the center or a +couple of baguette-style slashes. + +While you can certainly bake this bread on a cookie sheet, it benefits +from a stone and some steam, or a covered baker. However you do it, +bake at 450 degrees for about 40 minutes. + +Because of its high rye content, this bread should cool for at least 3 +hours and up to 24 hours to allow the bread set up. If you cut into it +too early, the center will be more liquid or gelatinous than solid. |
