NW Ferments Danish Rye Sourdough Starter Kit

Danish Rye is a dark and dense type that is a staple in Denmark.  The Danish call it Rugbrod, and they traditionally include cracked rye, grains, and seeds in the recipe.  They use this bread to make open faced sandwiches, called Smorrebrod.  Rye bread is highly nutritious, typically less sweet, has a harder crust, and lower gluten content.  Due to the low gluten factor in rye flour, sourdough starter is a better choice for leavening than baker’s yeast. Reusable- by reserving a bit from each batch, you can continue to make Danish Rye sourdough indefinitely!

Make your own hearty, healthy sourdough bread with our Sourdough Starter Cultures.  Just add the culture to flour and water, and watch the magic begin!  It is possible to make your own starter culture by allowing the wild yeasts in your home to accumulate and grow in flour and water, but is not always reliable.  Sometimes there are not enough wild yeasts available in the atmosphere to populate your starter (particularly if air filters are in use).  The wild yeasts in your home may not always produce a desirable flavor (any teenager’s sweaty socks hanging around?)  Using a specific starter culture is a way to ensure success and speed up the process.
