Start adding and mixing in the water until a well mixed sticky ball produced. Rye dough must be stickier than white bread dough or the bread will come out dry and crumbly.

Particularly rye flour benefits from a low pH which inhibits enzymes that tend to make the bread gummy.

Steps to make German Sourdough Rye Bread (Roggenmischbrot):
  1. Mix the ingredients for the rye sourdough in a bowl. Cover tightly with wrap and let sit at room temperature for about 20 hours.
