Órfhlaith Noone's delicious sourdough rye bread is a highly nutritious loaf with a dense, satisfying texture and earthy, malty flavour. |
If you're at all intimidated by the prospect of sourdough baking, rye bread is the perfect place to start. Thanks to its naturally high enzyme activity, rye creates a robust and resilient starter. This loaf uses a generous amount of starter, resulting in a dense yet nicely chewy texture.
This rye bread makes a fantastic foundation for all sorts of meals - think beans on toast, eggs on toast, or peanut butter and jam - making simple bites feel more substantial and nourishing. I like to bake it in a loaf tin for uniform slices, which feels much more practical for everyday use.

These cold-proved wholemeal sourdough rolls with nuts or seeds are inspired by the rustic rolls typical of Scandinavian artisanal bakeries. But despite this, they're very easy to make.

This brilliant recipe, using two of Hodmedod's most loved ingredients carlin peas and quinoa, comes from Eleanor Maidment's cookbook Pulse. This simple, but flavourful salad is perfect as a side dish or as a vegetarian main packed with plant-based protein.
