No-knead Rye Sourdough Bread THM-E

No-knead Sourdough Bread is so easy to make. You mix it together with a large spatula or spoon and the gluten is than developed by the stretch and fold method. This makes a wonderful loaf of bread. I love the taste of rye and the addition of caraway seeds give it that Old World Rye taste.

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir starter, water, flours, and vital wheat gluten together until combined. You will have a rough, sticky dough. Allow dough to rest for 20 minutes. Add salt and caraway seeds. Mix well. Cover and allow it to rise for 1 hour. Remove lid and gently pick up one side of the dough, fold it in thirds. Take the opposite side and fold in. Repeat with the opposite side of the dough. Cover and allow to rise for another hour. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 folding times. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Fold dough in 3rds, pinching the dough together to seal the edges. Turn dough and fold in 3rds, pinching to seal edges. Line the bottom of the clay baker with parchment paper or foil. Place loaf seam side down in a clay baker. Cover. Allow loaf to warm to room temperature for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the lid from the baker and fill with water. Allow the water to soak the lid for 10 minutes. Slash the loaf with a sharp knife. Empty the water from the lid and place it on the clay baker. Place the covered baker into the hot oven. Set the timer for 35 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 18-19 minutes. Remove clay baker from oven. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool. 12-14 slices.
  • To be plan approved for THM sourdough items made with sourdough starter needs a 7 hours room temp ferment OR 24 hour fridge ferment. You can combine room and fridge temp, also. 1 hour room temp equals 3.5 hours in the fridge.
  • THE 7 HOUR FERMENTING TIME IS COUNTED FROM THE TIME YOU MIX THE DOUGH UNTIL YOU BAKE IT.
  • 2 slices of bread are considered an E category and 1 slice an S-helper under THM guidelines

This dough was just stirred together with a large spatula. It looks like a rough shaggy mass. After the stretch and folds this turns into a silky elastic dough.
See how the dough is getting smoother and more elasticity! This is after the first set of stretch and folds.
Here is a video showing how you develop the gluten using the stretch and fold method.

  1. Do you not need to use sprouted flours for THM? I am anxious to get your cookbook and try some breads. They look amazing!!

  2. I live overseas and cannot find vital wheat gluten. Is there a substitute? What is its purpose? Can I leave it out?

    • Vital Wheat gluten is to help get a better rise. You can omit it. I would try to do an extra set of stretch and folds to help develop the gluten or add 1/4 cup bread flour to your recipe.

      • Ok thank you! Could I add some yeast? I see some sourdough baguette recipes call for yeast.
        I am still looking for the vital wheat gluten in the stores though
