Beautiful, do you have a recipe? Although I've run out of rye. :(

That's a really high hydration! Wow.

I might try it at some point though, thank you for the pictures!

The bread I've been making lately has been
50g Rye,
300g Wholemeal Spelt,
300g Seed Mix,
250 white and
58% water,
Plus 15g-ish sugar, 10g salt, 25g oil, 7g yeast

Although I've run out of rye now, I'm trying to use up my spelt and I'm trying to eat less white due to being diabetic, so I've been doing 600g spelt, 300g seed mix, with different ratios depending on how I feel on the day.

The 58% seems to be the sweet spot for not too sticky to knead, although I do it all in the mixer at the moment.

You need a lid on it I've found. Or you could try turning it with a tea towel like you would chapatis. Take a tea towel, press on the edge, turn it a little, repeat, pressing down the edge and turning the thing until the middle puffs up.

You could use a lidded cast iron pot like a small oven too, just try not to let the bottom get so hot they burn.

We keep ours in the closed oven and take it out if we need to use the oven. It does stop it going stale.
