Used a tablespoon of "Boris" (who's been relegated to the fridge while we had a long weekend away!) and made up my new rye starter. It was v quick to activate, so I was able to use it after 3 days.
Recipe from "Bread Matters" - if the last loaf was "low maintenance", this loaf is "NO maintenance"! Litererally chuck the ingredients together and leave it to prove. No kneading at all. Rye is a very low gluten flour so doesn't need any kneading :-)
It didn't rise much (unsurprisingly) BUT it is a lovely loaf! Not as heavy as I'd have thought, and defineitly nicer than any 100% rye I've bought before. I loved the addition of seeds through the bread. I'd like this sliced v thinly with some smoked salmon or maybe toasted with a poached egg on top.
