A delicious loaf with a dark crust. Good knife and teeth needed
Ingredients
Method
Part 1
Mix 90g of dark rye flour with 50g of live jogurt and 100g of water. Leave for 24 -36 hours in a warm place (25-30 degrees C)
After this time it may bubble like a rye starter but if not don't worry.
Part 2
Mix 330g of dark rye flour with 750g of boiling water. Stir to prevent too many lumps forming. Leave for 2-3 hours to cool (or up to 24 hours). This process makes the loaf very moist.
Part 3
50g of activated rye starter. See how to make a Rye Starter on the Shipton site.
Part 4
Mix all of the above together and leave for 12 hours.
Part 5
Take the result of part 4 and add:
670g of light rye flour
25g salt
20g of malt extract
2g (ground) coriander seeds
2-5g of (ground) caraway seeds
Knead well - a messy and sticky job.
Leave for 30 minutes.
Knead again, shape and place in a proving basket for 1.5 to 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and bake for 15 minutes then lower the temperature to 200 for a further 70 to 80 minutes.
The loaf has a very dark crust.
Now the hardest part: leave for a least 24 hours before slicing!

The Shipton Millers
I tried this, halving all the quantities. I got a good fermentation on the yogurt starter in proofing oven, and then a further good fermentation with the rye starter added. The timings are difficult to fit into a schedule, so I put the mixed starter in proofing oven for an hour or so, then at coolish room temp. for further 8 hrs, and it was fine. However, once I added the light rye, there was no perceptible rise after three hours, so I put it in outhouse over night (8 degrees or so), and it rose a little, but not much. Tried warming it for 2 hrs in proofing oven, but no difference, so gave up and baked it, divided between two small panibois, 45 min in bread cloche from cold at 240 deg., then 1 hr with cloche removed at 200 degrees: a long time! It didn't really go black but quite dark. It came out very moist with quite a tough crust, and perhaps a bit too dense (the second rising hadn't done anything, really), arguably still not fully cooked, but the taste is excellent.
