    Sourdough Beer Rye - My Best Yet

    I think this is my best yet on this recipe. Everything worked! I use my Lodge dutch oven turned upside down. I love the way it puts those perfect dimples in the bottom of the loaf. I used Clausthaler alcohol free beer because that is all I had that was room temperature. I'll know for sure if it is best when I cut into it. I'm very happy with the looks of it though. Internal temp measured right at 203 when I took it out.

    The crust of this sourdough loaf is deep mahogany, almost black, and the interior was soft and chewy, with large, irregular holes. The bread makes excellent sandwiches too!

    Man, that's perfection right there. Cool idea on the upside down Lodge! What's the hydration rate of that recipe?

      @ hoovarmin I'm calculating about 73%.

      Liquid: 4 oz in starter, 12 oz in beer, .75 oz in honey = 16.75 oz.
      Flour: 4 oz in starter, 5 oz rye, 12 oz bread, 2 oz more bread slowly add while mixing = 23 oz.
      16.75/23 = .73

      Really impressive that you were able to score it successfully with 73% hydration. Really nice job.

          Looking wonderful treesmacker ! Great idea to use your CI Cover that way. I have that same CI Dutch Oven & Cover. Now I need to do that.
