Rye Starter image

This is a traditional sourdough rye starter made with wild yeast. It takes some time, and a watchful eye.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ cups whole meal rye flour
¾ cup filtered or spring water
1 ½ cups bread flour
¾ cup filtered or spring water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup rye flour with 1/4 cup water to make a thick paste. Cover with a damp cloth, and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.
  • Stir well, and discard 1/2 of the rye flour paste. Stir 1/2 cup rye flour and 1/4 cup water into the remainder. Cover with a damp cloth, and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours. Repeat for day three.
  • Some activity should now be noticeable: the starter should be bubbly. Stir well. Measure starter, and transfer to a 1 quart glass jar. Stir in amounts of water and bread flour equal to the amount of starter. Add more water until the starter resembles a thick but pourable batter. Set aside for 24 hours.
  • Starter should be very active with lots of bubbles in the batter. Stir well. Measure, and return 1 cup starter to the jar. Begin feeding regularly, every 4 to 6 hours, doubling the starter each time. For instance, if you have 1 cup starter, add 1 cup bread flour and 1 cup water.

This rye starter recipe is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I added a bit more water and flour, and now my starter is perfect.

I'm not a fan of this rye starter recipe. The starter is too runny and doesn't hold its shape well.

This rye starter recipe is okay, but I've had better. The starter is a bit too sour for my taste.

I tried this rye starter recipe, but my starter never became active. I followed the instructions exactly, but I don't know what went wrong.

I've tried several rye starter recipes in the past, but this one is by far the best. The starter was ready in just 5 days, and it's so active and bubbly. I've already used it to make a few loaves of bread, and they've all turned out amazing. Thank yo
