Add Buttermilk & Flour for Rye Bread

Add Buttermilk & Flour for Rye Bread
My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to make rye bread. So now you see the dough has taken on a slightly different look and it is pulling away on its own. I am going to lower this for a second and break the sides again. It doesn't look like we are going to have to add much if any of that flour because this looks pretty dry. As a matter of fact, I might add a little water to this just to kind of bring it all back together at this point. Also, add the butter milk too. Putting that buttermilk in now. We are going to do it slowly so that it incorporates. Just see how this goes here. Yeah, we are going to need more flour definitely. With the buttermilk, it is really thick and biscus so you want to make sure that you scrape out every little last bit. All right so let's go ahead and add some more of that flour that we've got. Don't want to add all of it though because it calls for four to six cups so we want to make sure that we are adding a little bit at a time till we get it to where we need it. What is going to happen is once this makes a nice strong dough, we are going to let it mix or knead it if doing it by hand for 10 minutes. So if we are doing it in the mixer, I recommend you putting it on the lowest setting and just giving it ten minutes and just walking away from it. All right let's give this another minute or so and we will see where we are at and add our salt. You see our mixture is much more dough like appearance so we are going to scrape down the sides of the bowl and I think I am going to need the rest of this flour. If not, if you mess up just a little bit or you feel it is too dry for this recipe, hard to tell, just a little bit more, then what you can do is add a couple of drops of water at a time until it reaches the consistency that you are looking for. Let's see, I'm making a mess. I'm going to slowly pull this back up, let this go for a few minutes and we will come back and I will show you how to let it finish kneading and the texture you are looking for. We will let it rise for a little bit after we add the salt.
