  56 Notice of Shameless Derivation As It Were</h2>
  57
  58 <p class="first">I took the <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm">basic sourdough bread</a> recipe from <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/">S. John Ross</a>, converted it
  59 into a rye bread, and rewrote the recipe steps a tad bit more nerdily
  60 perhaps. I also substituted molasses for sugar and accidentally used
  61 four tablespoons instead of teaspoons in the dough; the result was
  62 tasty and so I left it that way.</p>

  67
  68 <h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
  69 Sponge</h3>
  70
  71 <ul>
  72 <li>Sourdough Starter equivalent to 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour</li>
  73 <li>1/2 cup water</li>
  74 <li>1/2 cup rye flour</li>
  75 <li>1/4 cup red wheat flour or rye flour</li>
  76 <li>1 teaspoon molasses</li>
  77 </ul>

  80 <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
  81 Dough</h3>
  82
  83 <ul>
  84 <li>1 1/2 cups rye flour</li>
  85 <li>1 1/2 cups red wheat flour</li>
  86 <li>3/4 cup water</li>
  87 <li>2 tablespoons olive oil or butter</li>
  88 <li>4 tablepoons molasses</li>
  89 <li>2 teaspoons kosher salt</li>

  97 <h3><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
  98 Sponge</h3>
  99
 100 <p class="first">The night before baking add the starter to 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup
 101 rye flour and mix as per usual. A few hours before baking add 1/4 cup
 102 red wheat flour and a teaspoon of molasses to the sponge and allow it
 103 get bubbly again.</p>

 107 Dough</h3>
 108
 109 <ol>
 110 <li>Mix sponge, molasses, salt, oil, and water thoroughly</li>
 111 <li>Gradually mix in 3 cups of flour (after about half of it has been
 112 mixed in you will have to knead the rest in by hand)</li>
 113 <li>Knead for a good ten or twenty minutes</li>
 114 <li>Roll into a ball and put into a bowl covered with a damp towel in
 115 a warm place until it fully rises (with my starter this takes
 116 about ninety minutes)</li>
 117 <li>If you desire a slightly more sour bread punch the dough ball down
 118 and let it rise a second time</li>
 119 <li>Knead the dough for a few minutes</li>
 120 <li>Put the dough into a bread pan if you desire a loaf or onto a
 121 pizza stone or whatever you usually bake upon and bake for about
 122 40 minutes at 350°F (do not preheat the oven)</li>
 123 <li>Tasty</li>
 124 </ol>

 129 Notes</h2>
 130
 131 <p class="first">The two step starter process may be unnecessary. If you choose to do a
 132 one step starter just omit the wheat flour feeding (and perhaps
 133 molasses if you want a less sour sponge) and 1/4 cup of water from the
 134 dough.</p>
 135
 136 <p>This bread contains a serious amount of molasses and as such may make
 137 you fat. I think backing things off to four teaspoons as per the white
 138 bread recipe this was originally might work, but I never bothered
 139 trying so do so at your own risk (and email me with your result if you
 140 wish).</p>
