54.5% dark rye sourdough

UK

After nailing normal sourdough without a dutch oven, just tinfoil cloche and manual steam, I decided to try infusing rye flour.

250g Matthews costswold churchill strong white flour

250g waitrose dark rye flour

100g starter (30g active starter, 60g rye flour, 60g water)

332g water to keep it 70% hydration

11g salt

Fermentolyse for 30 mins

Stretch and fold

Rest for 30 mins

Add salt

Stretch and fold

Rest for 30mins

Stretch and fold

Total bulk fermentation time 3.5 hours at around 26 to 27 celcius ambient temperature (in a cupboard near the boiler)

Shape the sticky dough to a ball, and rest in the cake tin, no counter top rest

Cold proof for a total of 10hrs overnight

Bake to 230 celcius, with steam and cloche on for 20mins

Bake uncovered for 200 celcius foranother 20mins

8 hour rest on a cooling rack after baking

Sour like sourdough, with a bit of earthiness from the rye flour
