If you're looking for an alternative to wheat bread, this 100% rye sourdough bread recipe may be just what you need. Rye bread is a traditional bread in many cultures, and it's known for its rich, earthy flavor and denser texture. This recipe uses only rye flour and a natural sourdough starter to create a hearty, wholesome bread that's perfect for sandwiches or toast.

Prep Time

Preparation for this recipe takes about 10-15 minutes, but the bread will need to rise for up to 24 hours.

The bread will need about 45-50 minutes to cook.

Recipes FAQ

What is rye flour?

Rye flour is made from rye grain, and it has a darker color and stronger flavor than wheat flour. It's commonly used in traditional breads in many European countries.

Can I use commercial yeast instead of sourdough starter?

Yes, you can use 7g (1/4 oz) of active dry yeast instead of sourdough starter. The bread will rise faster and have a slightly different flavor.

How should I store this bread?

Store the bread in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic. It will keep for up to 5 days.

Recipe Tips

  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
  • If you want a lighter texture, you can add up to 50% wheat flour to this recipe.
  • If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can make one by mixing equal parts flour and water and letting it sit for 5-7 days, stirring occasionally.
