Direcciones
- Starter:Mix ingredients and let proof at a LOW temperature for about 12 hrs
- (this low temperature is VERY important if you're using the russian culture as it can often smell like vomit when it's fed whole grains)
- Bread:Ok. This takes work. You knead, knead, knead,..... It also acts like the monster which wants to eat the world's supply of rye flour.
- Knead at least 30 min if you're kneading vigorously. More if not. Shape into a slightly flattened ball.
- Be prepared. This will not rise a whole lot.
- Place a pan of water in the bottom of an oven heated to 425. Bake bread for 5 minutes then reduce heat to 375 and bake another 1 1/4 hrs.
- Age bread 6 hrs before eating.
