This is based on the "70 Percent Rye with a Rye Soaker and 
Whole-Wheat Flour" in Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes 
by Jeffrey Hamelman. The original recipe calls for rye chops (chopped 
rye berries), which I don't have, so I put in all the cracked rye I 
had (there is supposedly a difference between cracked and chopped 
rye, but don't ask me to distinguish them in a lineup) and made up 
the rest with rye meal (very coarsely ground rye berries).

The recipe instructs you to wrap the bread in linen once cool and 
wait 24 hours before slicing into it. This will be difficult, 
because, although this bread contains no sweetener of any kind, the 
smell of molasses will permeate your kitchen as this bakes and you 
will just want to get into it right away. However, you will need to 
control yourself, because if you cut into it too soon, it will be gummy.

This is a huge, heavy, dense loaf that keeps exceptionally well. If 
you don't want a megaloaf or don't have a 13 x 4 x 4 pullman pan, use 
a regular loaf pan and scale the amount of dough to the volume of the pan.

Time:
Ferment sourdough and soak soaker: 14 hr
Mix final dough: 10 min
First fermentation : 30 min
Shape: 5 min
Proof: 1 hr
Bake: 1 hr 15 min
Desired dough temp: 82F


For the soaker, combine the cracked rye, rye meal, and boiling water. 
Cover and let rest for 8-14 hours.

For the rye sourdough, combine the rye flour, water, and rye starter. 
Cover and ferment at room temperature (70F) for 14 hours.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook, combine all of the 
final dough ingredients. Mix in low speed until everything is incorporated.

Continue mixing in low speed for about 4 minutes or medium speed for 
2 minutes. The dough will be very sticky.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container. Cover and ferment 
for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, lightly oil a 13x4x4" pullman pan (the lid is not needed) 
and coat it with whole rye or whole wheat flour.

Turn the dough into a well-floured counter and roll it into a 12" 
log. Place the log seam-down into the prepared pan and sprinkle it 
lightly with whole rye or whole wheat flour.

Cover and ferment at about 82F until the dough has risen just above 
the top of the pan and the surface is beginning to "break," about an 
hour. (Put the pan inside a plastic bag with a bowl of hot water to 
keep it warm.)

Meanwhile, preheat the oven, with baking stone, to 480F. You will 
also need steam during the initial phase of baking, so prepare for this now.

Bake at 480F for 8 minutes with steam, and another 7 minutes without 
steam. Reduce the oven to 410F bake for another 45 minutes. Then 
remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a sheet pan, and bake 
for another 15 minutes or until the sides are firm and browned.

Cool on a wire rack. When cool, wrap in linen and wait at least 24 
hours before slicing.
