Cracked or whole rye grains?
Nothing is more satisfying than making your own baked goods. Would you like to bake rye bread or ontbijtkoek? At Baktotaal, you can order organic rye from the brand Molen de Hoop. There is a difference between cracked rye grains and whole rye grains. Whole grains can be cooked with the bran and eaten, just like rice. They can also be used to make rye bread. Cracked rye grains, also known as pumpernickel flour, are used for preparing dark rye bread. If you would like to store rye grains, it is recommended to keep them in a dry, cool and preferably dark place.
Making rye bread
If you would like to make rye bread, it is important to know that the preparation method differs from that of ‘regular’ bread. Rye bread is actually more gently cooked at a low temperature rather than truly baked. It requires a long time in the oven. There are also various types of rye bread you can make. For example, Frisian rye bread is baked for around 15–20 hours, whereas Brabant rye bread requires one to two hours in the oven. The main difference is related to the moisture content of the dough. If you would like to start baking, you can find various recipes online.
