I'm polish, and most of the common breads are 40-60% rye which 1/4 of this rye is wholemeal and rest is 750/850 wheat flour. I always bake mine 20% whole rye 20% 720 rye flour and 60% 750/850 wheat flour. Also breads here tends to have lot less hydration then typical "sourdough breads" trending on youtoube.

Greetings from Poznan, Poland!! 🇵🇱 🇵🇱 I watch every video of yours, even when you wanted to hire I thought of traveling to America! Thanks to you guys I started to bake my own sourdough bread! The journey is ecstatic and all my friends love the bread. All the love and support for you!!!

Hey, I'm Polish! Did not know you have this history. Where did you visit? I didn't even realize that our sourdough is that different from yours. It's true, bread products are amazing in Poland, I appreciate if every time I'm abroad, and I bake my sourdough myself. Cheeers!

Would have liked to see a tad more of the finished loaves. Looks good though!

When you ask anyone moving from Poland to USA about one thing that they miss the most (at least foodwise) everyone will say bread. What in Poland is a normal bread here is considered artisan. As a kid i would buy a loaf of Oliwski bread and eat half of the bread crumb on the way back home from the bakery. My mom would yell at me for that each time but that never stopped me.

We used to make country sourdough loaves of a similar size. We used a rye starter from our rye mother then used strong organic white flour to make the dough. It did produce a loaf similar to yours. Cracking effort my friend. I’ve loved watching your journey over the last few years! I hope to twist my wifes arm to visit one day, she used to live in Phoenix. 🏆👍❤️🌈

My inspiration is also from a trip to Poland to visit family. It truly needs to be shared. We are opening a bakery/deli in Northern Maine and hope to be able to share that Polish experience to others. Thanks for all the great videos, they are also part of my inspiration even before learning of your similar heritage. All the best, thank you!

If you crossbrace the table the Hobart is standing on it won't shake so much. Lovely video as always, a wealth of information!

hi I`m from Poland and live in Wales UK when I make bred and remember always sourdough make from rye flour and remember my Friend father have still have sourdough from II World War

Greetings from Gdynia, Poland! 🙌 Great job, the loaf looks legit. I'd totally buy one if I were in the area.

Jon, I love your videos! I've been watching them for a couple years and have learned a lot...but I've been making Sourdough breads for over 50 years. I have no way of tasting your beautiful bakes, but I can try and make my own...😅 I followed this recipe for your experimental sourdough rye. Although my kitchen aid is a 1970's version,(yeah I'm older than dirt😂) it's made many loaves over the years. It's a 4.5qt., so I had to make two loaves at a time, so had to tweak the recipe for two loaves. So far so good...baked this morning. I should have baked in my Dutch oven 5 extra minutes then removed the lid and baked for an additional 15 min...it's delicious...almost perfect. It would be better with freshly milled grains. I'll try again.😋🥖

No crumb shot? You’re killing me, Jon! 😂

Loving the frequent uploads!

This bread experimentation is fun to watch :) 🍞👍

Looks great! Can't wait to try baking the recipe . Would like to see how your crumb turned out.

So happy to see the new location! I can't wait to visit now that you're so much closer to me. Thanks for these videos, I've learned so much from you!

Polish rye is literally the best bread on the planet.

Greetings from Poland!

Synchronicity! I've been playing with adding increasing amounts of Rye in the last 12 months. I settled on 40% but I also add some honey to the dough too.

Congratulations... from Madrid (Spain)

Awesome video

Aweome, seeing your experiments on video. Any idea When will we get to see the video for the slicings of the Cereal Milk and Polish Rye loaves?!

I love the laboratory you've set up. How many m2 do you have for it?

this looks like the acutal bread im familiar to, having a german/polish heritage. standard bread in both countries.

would of loved a shot of the bread cut open and tasted. Ive been on a rye baking journey for years, trying to recreate an Estonian Black bread that used to be available in Australia many years ago, unfortunately the recipe went with the baker to his grave.

I think it would be fascinating to see a cooperation with Proof and Germany's Wildbakers or Axel Schmitt or maybe both.

I love that mill. Tell me the name of the type available for non commercial uses, please?

I wish you would have finished this with cutting it open so we could see the crumb but either way they look great!

YUUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!!!!!

needs a crumb shot and tasting! how'd this turn out flavor-wise!?

Çok iyi👌👍

Many West Europeans will be just as keen as anybody from further east. 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

Would love a scaled down recipe for this dough if you could? My local supermarket bakery in the uk used to do a Polish country loaf and it was their 2nd best seller according to the staff at the bakery but for some reason head office decided to stop doing it. I've been experimenting trying to recreate it, but this looks very much like it!

Any chance we could get recipe written down for us non US citizens than cant buy from you ?

Working with rye doughs is such a nightmare for me 😫

Lol, did your batteries expire on this one? Results with visuals would've assisted in understanding this fine attempt. Do it again, soft rye, or else, lol 😅

❤ i love sourdough bread but I don't know why ,second day my bread getting sooo hard,like a stone

Nice but it would be great to see you cut and taste it

Hair net?

I very much like your videos. A friendly observation: when trying to work and talk you do both slowly...too slowly. Perhaps mix it up with a voice over some vid. I think the pace will pick up,

you need moar rye! 66% at least 😂

I have been a subscriber to Proof Bread for a few years now. I started maybe a year or more before you left the garage. Dzein Dobry. Jak zie mas? Nie jestem Polak. Moja zona jest Polkan, z Mazowsze. I'm very pleased to see you reaching back in your heritage for breads like this. While I have no Polish DNA, I do have a slight mix. I'm predominantly Irish, British, and Franco-German. That makes me an American mutt. While I most probably have less than 10% German heritage, the one bread that I greatly enjoyed is the German Schwarzbrot, the black bread. My brother went to Germany in the mid 1990s, and brought some of that bread home with him. I thought it was fantastic. I can't get any information on what the bread was, nor even what city it was purchased in, as my brother passed in '99. I live in northern California, so a drive to Mesa would be a bit of an adventure. I have tried going to independent bakeries around me, I have only found one that would bake me a schwarzbrot, and it did not taste anything like what my brother brought home. There was way too much rye flour in that bread. I'm stumped on how to find something similar. How should I continue trying to find a bread similar to what I seek? Do you have any suggestions?

Kind of a flat loaf. I'd like to see the crumb.

what is autolease?

soooo...am I supposed to watch the all video to see the recipe? the author takes his time to place the address, offers to shop for aprons, for lames etc, but the printed recipe is just not here ?

Come on we need to see the end results cut texture taste we hang around till the end only to be cut off

why don't you show the inside? very frustrating...

Wondering if you are using a special slicer/brand to cut your loaves due to the thickness of the crust. WE have just been cutting by hand at our restaurant, but we are considering buying a commercial slicer. @proofbread
