Rye Bread Baking

[Pool Boy]

My wife is a pretty accomplished baker. She's taken inspiration for my deep love of rye breads and making me quite a few this year out of a book, I think it is called The Rye Bread Baker. Everything she has made so far is great, but the below one takes the cake so far -- Malfabrot - East German Malted Rye.

So effing good!

Nice! Maybe she can give me some tips on Danish rye (rugbrød). Mine comes out a bit sticky in the center.

She has about 40-50 more recipes to try. I'll see if she has some tips - but I am not sure she's tried a version of that yet (maybe soon!).She highly recommends the Rye Baker book and the author's blog site as well. Link to Blog. Link to FB group.

Some more recent rye bread shots

One is NY style deli rye - very good!

Another is a set of rye rolls that are very easy and you can probably do it with stuff you have on hand mostly.

And the two-shot stuff is Walliserbrot, a Swiss rye bread (Valais rye).

Those are great looking breads.  I've also tried baking bread again recently, using recipes from, "Rustic Ruropean Breads from your Bread Machine"-in the last week, it's been Pain a L'Ancienne, Jewish Rye, & German Style Whole Wheat.  I try a couple of slices & then the pups beg for the rest (bread is probably not good for the dogs?).
