Great NY Jewish Rye

I followed this recipe without any changes. I used my bread maker to make the dough. I used a traditional bread pan to bake it.

Sourdough Bread

With or without bread machine I got my sourdough starter during the 2019 winter holiday season from CulturesforHealth. I started with regular (San Fransisco) sourdough but feed it with rye flour when I have it. In CT, where I grew up, we had the best pizza and the best breads. Bread flavor is in part credited to the regional water....
