Why am I so obsessed with rye? It's because I love it... Rye is just so special. - Alison

Where to begin with sourdough rye bread? This is a topic that both Alison and Andrea have received so many questions about. Alison is a rye sourdough bread expert - she has made hundreds of loaves over the span of years, and she has honed-in on a lot of the specific nuances and details of working with this amazing, delicious whole grain. In this episode, Alison breaks down some of her favorite reasons for using rye bread, and discusses her newly launched course - Rye Sourdough Bread: Mastering the Basics.

With this course, I wanted to explain everything about rye sourdough starter; explain why rye is so wonderful, explain how rye works, how it's different from wheat. I wanted to walk people through two recipes that will enable them to understand rye, make it in their own kitchens, and, at the end of the course, be ready to start making the two loaves covered in the course or carry on experimenting with it. - Alison

Alison's course is a work of love and dedication and the produce of many years of rye failures, retries, and eventually successes! You can download her course at www.ancestralkitchen.com/rye, and podcast listeners can use the code PODCAST15 to get 15% off!

Rye has a different type of gluten than wheat. A lot of people who have ... sensitivities to gluten, may be able to eat rye. - Alison
