My love affair with sourdough is going strong. Sourdough bread always amazes me when I see the finished product. It is like I did a great achievement. This time I decided to try this Light Rye and wheat Sourdough Bread. This again is a simple sourdough bread made with little rye, whole wheat and bread flour. This I joined my Friend Marissa who is also blogger who blogs Thermofan for this baking. Our mutual love for sourdough made us to start a baking project, Sourdough lovers.
Yes, we are going to bake a sourdough bread every month. We have been together in Baking Partners. She is not only good friend, but also a great human being. You guys can see more sourdough bread creations from us soon. I think making more breads will improve my skills, still getting hang of sourdough. Mastering sourdough is our end goals.
This is simple light rye sourdough bread. Crumbs are tight because of rye and whole wheat. Crust is also perfect. If you are looking for a everyday day sourdough bread, then this is a good bread. My hubby loves sourdough bread that too with Rye flour. Sourdough bread helps him to control blood sugar levels. If you have a sourdough starter ready in hand, then give this one a try.
Sourdough bread is the one you learn by doing. You’re not going to make a great loaf by reading a recipe or checking with a cookbook; you’re going to have to get your hands in the dough, and you might have to try it a few times. Stay with the process, learn to work with the ingredients, and enjoy the adventure. Sourdough bread always amaze me sometimes I get the crust and crumb I needed sometime not.
Also, not all sourdough bread is sour, sourness of the bread depends on the presence of bacteria — Lactobacillus and Acetobacillus — which grow alongside the wild yeast in the sourdough culture and help ferment the sugars in the dough determines the sourness.

I'm going to give this recipe a try. I've made another eye sourdough but it had molasses in it and my husband wasn't a fan. Yours doesn't have that ingredient, so I'm hoping the taste will work better for him.
Kayla says
I have to say, I’m not a fan of sourdough bread. I’ve had a few sandwiches that I can tolerate it on. I will say this, I think it makes a nice sandwich made on a sandwich press.

I'm always amazed at how beautiful your bread loaves are. They are a work of art. And I bet the bread tastes even better than it looks. We love our homemade bread and we enjoy making it. Nothing like warming up the house with bread baking in the oven.

Alli Smith says
I love sourdough bread and I remember years ago, a few of my friends and I had a starter that we made and passed around. I haven't made homemade bread in years and I'd love to try it again. It was always so much fun and the end result of having freshly made bread was worth the effort.
Jess says
I never knew there was so much prep that goes into making bread but I can see the worthiness of doing so. The sourdough bread looks amazing and the videos I am sure could help with the process
