I use whey instead of water, I have so much because I make Cheese.

Put the sour dough in the bowl. Add everything else. Combine.

Place it in a baking tin. Make an indentation in the middle so that the dough rises evenly

Cover, And let it stand until it have doubled in size.

First rise done. It took 3 hours.

Punch holes all the way to the bottom. Use a skewer or a knitting needle. This is done to let the steam out while baking. Time for the second rising

The bread have now been rising for 1 hour and is ready to be baked. Place in the oven and set the heat for 350f - 175c. Bake for 2 hours.

Smear the warm bread with butter

If you could smell this.........

Wrap in a clean cloth. You have to wait until tomorrow to taste. Freshly baked rye bread can not be carved.

Put the still hot bread in a plastic bag and let it cool. When cool put it in the fridge Always keep rye bread in the fridge.
