Walnuts Rye Sourdough


This is one of my favorite bread.
It doesn't proof much. Because it is made from Rye sourdough starter. And 1: 1: 1 = white flour : Rye flour : wholemeal flour.
It has to be baked with steam at first and gradually low heat for 1 hour.

It is quite dark bread. I like to toast and have it with honey!!
