lovely lovely lovely.
back where I come from -- New York City -- there's really only one type of rye flour I can get: whole rye. And in Switzerland, where I have some family, that's true, too. I've never seen anything but roggenvollkornmehl. How does type 1150 compare? I've made many ryes that call for light or medium and just subbed in whole grain, often simply adding a bit more water. Do you think I could do that with this recipe?

Hi Rob, you can definitely use a combination of light and whole grain for this recipe. I read somewhere that 2/3 white rye and 1/3 whole rye would be a good ratio to replace rye 1150. Have you ever tried Ruchmehl? To my knowledge, this is a flour which is popular in Switzerland. I really Ruchmehl, it has a nutty taste and absorbs a huge amount of water.
thanks. I may try it with 100% rye. Or I will have to trek to my go-to Polish grocery ... which sometimes stocks lighter rye flours.
Ruchmehl is great. I've baked with it many times. Still, as I understand it, it is not rye, but is more along the lines of a high-extraction wheat flour.
Cheers!
You are right. They offer wheat or spelt Ruchmehl. So far, I only used wheat Ruchmehl and really enjoyed the breads.
I find that a bit hard to believe considering the abundance of ethnic stores and persistent reports that Brooklyn bakery supply outlets are happy to sell to the public. I have been, in fact, sent flours from NYC, from both sources.
I can get light and medium rye if I walk 45 min to a Polish grocery (though it doesn't always have them in stock.) And I can genrally get rye malt from a home brewing outlet an hour in the opposite direction.
Of course, mail order exists everywhere.
Sorry for the overstatement.🙌🏻🫡
Ruchmehl is high extraction flour. Nothing too exotic.
