What is the difference between rye flour and wheat flour?

Rye flour contains less gluten forming protein than wheat flour, which results in a denser crumb and slightly heavier texture. It also has a deeper, more complex flavour compared to standard white bread flour.

Why is rye flour often mixed with strong white flour?

Mixing rye flour with strong white flour helps improve the structure and rise of the loaf. The wheat flour contributes gluten strength, while the rye adds flavour and moisture.

Is dark rye flour suitable for sourdough baking?

Yes, dark rye wholemeal flour is commonly used in sourdough starters and rye based sourdough breads. It ferments well and contributes to the characteristic tang and rich flavour of traditional rye loaves.
