Baking considerations

• Denser bread: 

  Rye flour contains less elastic gluten than wheat, so it produces a denser bread. 

• Stickier dough: 

  Rye dough can be stickier than wheat dough, so it's helpful to wet your hands with water when kneading instead of adding more flour. 

• Faster fermentation: 

  Rye flour ferments much faster than wheat sourdough. 

• Flavor: 

  The flour has a complex flavor often described as spicy, bready, and earthy, with notes of cocoa and baking spice.
