This was really fun. First time making Old Milwaukee Rye. Original recipe from the Poehlmann Bakery in Milwaukee, WI (first established bakery in 1853), published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in the 1960’s. Process includes a 3-day sour. Absolutely delicious - will definitely make this again. There is a “sister” recipe for Bavarian Rye using 100% rye and Brotgewürz that I’m going to attempt next. Give this one a try!
