Yeast Free Sourdough Rye Bread Recipe

Sourdough rye bread boasts deep and complex flavors from the rye, and from the fermentation of the sourdough starter. This will easily become one of your favorite breads.

Update: This post was update. The old recipe was 100% whole rye and this new one makes a more traditional rye loaf that is lighter with the addition of bread flour. The old recipe is still included down below.

During summer, there is nothing like a delicious sandwich topped with home grown lettuce and tomatoes, thinly sliced meat, and raw cheddar cheese.

Now, if you want to kick up the flavor of this American classic, then I highly suggest making your own homemade, sourdough rye bread.

When I saw rye berries at my favorite online grocery co-op, I knew that this would be such a fun recipe to develop.

Delicious– Rye flour has such a delicious and distinct flavor that just doesn’t happen with regular wheat. And when you go and ferment it with sourdough starter, it’s just heavenly.

Chewy– This recipe has such a wonderful crumb and chewiness to it. It’s incredible as a side, slathered in rich butter, or you can dress it up as a sandwich for your main course.

Simple– This is basically a no-fail recipe. Mix, stretch and fold, ferment, shape, and bake. Pretty much as simple as it gets.

Yes. Rye flour has a better nutrition profile compared to wheat, and it contains more soluble fiber. Thanks to fermentation, the active yeasts and bacterias available in the sourdough help break down the anti-nutrients, making it even more nutritionally dense and the nutrients more readily available.

Plus, for those who have trouble digesting gluten, rye naturally contains less gluten than wheat, and the fermentation breaks down the gluten even further.

Typically, it is a sourdough bread. This is because rye flour doesn’t usually contain enough gluten to rise well with commercial yeast.

Yes. Rye is naturally lower in gluten and with the combination of the fermentation to help bread down even more gluten it can be easier to digest than regular bread.

While this is obviously up to personal opinion and parameters, rye sourdough has a tremendous about of flavor compared to white bread that is hard to beat. It is also easier to digest making it a wonderful choice.

Mix all the ingredients together into a large bowl. Allow to rest for 30 minutes covered with a damp towel, lid, or plastic wrap to autolyse. This allows the water to hydrate the flour.

To develop the gluten and obtain a nice rise, you will want to do 6 rounds total of stretching and folding. Honestly, this doesn’t need to be precise. I don’t set a timer anymore and just preform the stretch and folds ever so often and the loaf always comes out beautifully.

What is a stretch and fold? With the dough is in the bowl, grab the edge of the dough and pull up, stretching it upwards. Then push the dough that is in your hands into the center. Turn the bowl about a quarter turn and repeat this stretch and fold again, and again one to two more times.

This is considered one stretch and fold round. Repeat 5 more times according to the directions above. If the dough is too sticky, dip your fingers in water.

Rye Sourdough Is Considered The King Of Sourdough

Cover with a wet towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to bulk-ferment until doubled. This can take up to 12 hours depending on the temperature of the home and the maturity of your sourdough starter.

Turn over the boule dough and shape. I do this by folding the two sides over to meet in the middle, and then the other two sides.

Transfer to floured banneton or bowl with tea towel, seam side up. Cover with plastic (you can use a shower cap, plastic grocery bad, or plastic wrap) and proof 12-15 hours in refrigerator.

About 4-12 hours before mixing the dough together, feed your sourdough starter. I usually like to do this right before I go to bed.

Place rye flour, active sourdough starter, and water in stand mixer bowl. Mix until it just comes together. If you want a lighter, fluffier loaf, use half all-purpose flour and half rye flour.

Place in a large, greased bowl and cover with beeswax wraps or plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 8-12 hours.

Punch down, shape, and add to a greased or parchment lined loaf pan for 2-4 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

This is a lighter loaf because it uses a combination of all-purpose wheat flour, bread flour, and rye flour. I used freshly-milled rye berries. You could also use store-bought rye flour. For a denser loaf, you could use all rye flour. Instructions are above.

Make sure you have an active sourdough starter- one that is nice and bubbly. If you take a spoonful of it and place into a glass of water, it should float.Sourdough rye bread is an ancient food which is full of flavour and deep in colour. It has many health benefits and is easier to digest than most breads. You have probably heard that Sourdough Rye Bread is the king of bread, but do you know why? Let me give you a little insight why it is so beneficial and also check out my post about What happened To Real Bread? The Reason Why People Are Struggling With Today’s Bread.

 to yeast than other bread. What does this mean? More mineral availability and easier digestion. The good bacteria pre-digests the starches of the grains and all the heavy lifting for your digestive tract is already done.

3. Do you think it’s too time-consuming to maintain a sourdough starter? Believe me, the benefits are well worth it. Through this lengthier process, the gluten is broken down into amino acids and therefore easier to digest. Some people who are sensitive to gluten are able to tolerate sourdough rye bread.

5. The fermentation process increases the content of beneficial bacteria in the bread AND your gut. It keeps yeast overgrowth in your intestines under control which makes it suitable for all candida warriors out there.

6. Unlike commercially produced bread it naturally contains many nutrients such as vitamin B1-B6, B12, folate, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin E, selenium, iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium.

7. Sourdough bread tastes delicious and can vary in tanginess. Why don’t you get creative and add in some dried fruits, herbs or spices? My personal favourite is Fig & Walnut sourdough rye bread.

It comes together in no time and bakes in a single loaf pan, but the recipe can be doubled, and the baked bread freezes very well.

Rye bread has a reputation of being dense and heavy as well as aggressively sour in flavor. While some people love these qualities, others, understandably, do not. I love a rye bread with a subtle tang and a hearty but not leaden texture.

This no-knead rye bread is just that: made with a mixture of bread and rye flours, the texture of the finished loaf is light enough for a sandwich but makes excellent toast as well. A small amount of honey balances out the sourness and lends a nice chew, while caraway seeds, which can be left out, impart subtle notes of citrus and anise.

This recipe calls for 1 cup of rye flour and 3 cups of bread flour, and while you could play around with increasing the proportion of rye in this recipe (which is roughly 20% by weight), keep in mind that the more rye flour you use, the denser your bread will be. Why? Because rye flour is different than wheat flour in a number of ways, namely:

, which is a great resource if you like to understand the science behind bread baking. I have to confess I have never made a recipe from the book, and I pull it out seldomly but when I do, I always find the answer I am looking for (and more!).

I was curious as to how much 1 cup of this particular rye flour would weigh, so I set my measuring cup on the scale and spooned in as much flour as I could without it spilling out.

… which brought the flour down to just below the rim of the measuring cup. This is an example of why it is so important to use a scale. Depending on how we measure, 1 cup of flour can vary dramatically
