Orange Rye Sourdough

My beer yeast works very well. I made starter with rye flour and beer yeast. I m so impressed with rye starter. It was fragrant with fruity aroma. I never have like that before. Rye flour fermented well with beer yeast.


With this Orange Rye Sourdough, I used a whole orange, squeezed juice, shave and chopped peel. Orange makes hint of citrus, but I added muscovado sugar to make it mild and dark color.
Actually orange and muscovado sugar work together well.
You could use molasses instead of muscovado sugar.

It is perfect for breakfast. Toast them and apply butter. You could taste natural rye flavor and citrus aroma.
