Rye in a day

No time for experimenting and recipe writing.  No time for weighing the ingredients and keeping track of time! This is purely grandma style rye made in one day 

Morning

2 cups rye flour,  1 cup warm water,  4 tablespoons rye starter,  mix into a paste,  let ferment in a lukewarm spot 

Late afternoon 

All preferment (should be expanded and partially collapsed,  acidic in smell and taste) 4 cups rye flour,  2 cups warm water,  2½ teaspoon salt,  ½ cup flax seeds, mix into a sticky dough, work with wet hands until the dough feels cohesive, slippery and somewhat slimy on the surface 

Bulk ferment 1½ hour,  final proof in pan 45-60 min

Glaze and dock, bake 15 min at 475°F, then 45 min at 390°F
