hm, i tried something like that tonight and we'll see tomorrow morning how
it went. gotta let rye bread sit for a day ...

from a rough guess i would think that my rye content is around 40-50%
when i do rye, i do quite a lot of french country style too, it's less work
and they're good except they don't preserve as well.


somewhere on the way i picked up that yeasties like air :-) so i thought a
stretch & fold may be helpful, we'll see ..
