I needed a recipe to try my round cane **banneton** on and this month’s [Mellow Bakers][1] challenge introduced a nice sourdough recipe: **40% rye sourdough** with **caraway** seeds. According to Mr. Hamelman, the bread “contains just enough rye to be a serious rye sourdoubh bread”.<figure id="attachment_378" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption aligncenter">

The caraway seeds are something new for me, the recipe calls for 2 tablespoons but as they smelled quite strong, I used teaspoons instead. The end result is a stellar looking and tasting bread with a still very strong caraway flavor. It reminds me of anise seeds. It’s a bit too much for my liking, I might bake it again next time but without the seeds.

You might notice in the pictures below that the bread is still quite grey, for “only” 40% wholerye. I liked it, but too bad the sour taste does not get through thanks to the caraway.

I **did not add yeast** in the final dough. I don’t know why almost all rye sourdough breads call for additional commercial yeast, I find it quite unneeded as the bulk fermentation time could be simply slightly increased (as I did). The crumb is not very dense at all and contains evenly placed little holes. I folded the dough once (or twice? Can’t remember).<figure style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignleft">

Lessons learned:
|
|||
|
</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Caraway has a **dominant flavor**, be careful with it, even with teaspoons!
|
|||
|
* **yeast is never needed **with **rye bread**. Especially not with so much gluten present from the “high gluten” flour. (I used 13% protein flour).
|
|||
|
* The cane banneton needs to be **floured very well** – even between the edges. It will eventually release the dough but you have to be careful!
