The Sourdough Club

A social enterprise where a community of bakers gather and share knowledge

Our small club is run from The Sourdough School and is the alternative way to learn if you cannot attend a course in person. Learn from Dr Vanessa Kimbell how to make the healthiest bread in the world and improve digestion, boost your mood, and connect with a supportive community that’s passionate about baking for better health.

Blend Number 13 – Rye blend

Diversity Score: 9

Botanical Blend sourdough no 13 Rye

At the school, we use Mockmill grain mills to mill our blends fresh.  If you don’t have a mill then you can still make up a similar blend using the same proportions of rye flour, einkorn flour, cocoa powder, ground fennel, ground coriander seeds, pea powder ( or hemp powder), ground pink peppercorns, fine seaweed flakes and freeze-dried raspberries. This blend recipe will give you 1kg of high diversity freshly milled flour. We used this blend in our Diversity Loaf – Blend Number 13

Each ingredient has a link to a relevant article or study we think you will find interesting.

My top tip is to toast the coriander seeds first, the smell is amazing.

If you don’t have a mill:

Mix up:

  • 800g rye flour
  • 110g einkorn flour
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 20g fennel seeds
  • 20g ground coriander
  • 10g instant coffee
  • 10g of chilli powder (or more if you like it hotter)
  • a little black or pink pepper

Ingredients

  • 780g rye
  • 100g einkorn
  • 50g cocoa nibs
  • 20g fennel seeds
  • 20g coriander seeds
  • 20g black badger carlin peas
  • 1 large dried chilli
  • 2g pink peppercorns
  • 2g dulse
  • 8g freeze-dried raspberries, to crumble in at the end
