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.

No-Knead Rye Sourdough Bread THM-E
- 1 1/4 cups active sourdough starter
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup rye flour
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1 1/2 teaspoons ground caraway seed
- 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

Do you not need to use sprouted flours for THM? I am anxious to get your cookbook and try some breads. They look amazing!!
No, the fermenting makes the grain on-plan for THM.
Thanks so much.
Cheryl
Can I make it any other than 12 hrs in fridge?
yes..7 hours room temp ferment.
Do I reduce the oven temperature as soon as I put it in the oven?
No, after it has baked for 35 minutes you reduce the temperature.
What size clay baker is best?
I have a 4 quart.
Thank you! I plan to order your book and some starter once I can find white whole wheat and rye. Even King Arthur “himself” is out.
Do you have to use a clay baker…. I have a dutch oven would that work the same??
That will work the same.
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
