Double
Rye Bread
by Alan Woods
3 cups King Arthur Organic Pumpernickel Flour
3 cups King Arthur First Clear Flour
1 cup Daily Grind Cornmeal
2 TBS Organic gluten
1 Mashed medium potato (ok to include skin if chopped)
1 tsp Caramel color
1 cup Ground flaxseed
½ cup Hemp seed
1 TBS Caraway seed
½ cup Chopped dried onion
1 cup Chopped burgandy olives
2 tsp Solar salt
1 cup Soy milk
1 cup Potato water (the water in which the potato was boiled
prior to mashing)
1 TBS Barley malt
1 TBS Organic canola oil
1 cup sourdough starter
Method:
2 days prior, mix 1 cup of each flour with enough water to make
a dough. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 24 hours. This is
the barm or poolish. Mix the remaining ingredients, add to the
poolish, kneading well until dough is smooth and elastic, adjusting
the amount of liquid as needed. Put in oiled boil and let rise.
After dough has doubled (anywhere from 2 to 4 or so hours, depending
on the warmth and humidity of your kitchen), punch down, let
rest 10 minutes, then knead again, and form into loaves. Let
rise again. When doubled in size, it's ready to bake.
Preheat oven
to 425F, put bread in, reduce immediately to 350F, then after
20 minutes, rotate pans 180 degrees and continue baking until
internal temperature reaches 195 degrees, usually another 35-40
minutes. Putting a pan of boiling water in the oven to create
steam is helpful if doing artisan bread, although it doesn't
do much if the loaves are in pans.
