Description

This recipe appears in the Spring 2016 issue of Sift as Sourdough Pumpernickel, and it is exactly that. We've renamed it here so as not to cause confusion with our existing recipe for Sourdough Pumpernickel, which has similar ingredients but a different technique. This recipe converts a white sourdough starter to a rye levain, and uses that to build the starter that raises the bread. The extra step makes a very flavorful, robust sourdough rye.
