  • “Some how this caught my attention the other day and I decided to make it.The ingredients list is pretty accurate.I followed the recipe through step 3 allowing the mixture to rest for about 10 hours.Then I deviated from the directions somewhat.I melted the shortening, added sorghum instead of the molasses (that was what I had), and milk, allowing this to cool to room temperature.While the mixture was cooling I softened the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. I then mixed the flour with 1/4 powdered milk due to step 4 saying “add the molasses, dry milk…”I also mixed in about 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten and the salt.After all this was thoroughly blended, I stirred the molasses mixture into the rye starter along with the flour and softened yeast.I think because I added the additional 1/4 cup of water to soften the yeast I required more flour than what was called for.The end result was 2 wonderful loaves of bread.The only thing I will change next time, is instead of allowing them to fully rise in the final time, I will put them in the refrigerator and allow them to sit overnight, and then allow them to come to room temperature and complete the rise.This will give a stronger sourdough flavor.Overall, it is a winner.”
