Great to have you here. This blog is still at its beginning , and I hope my plans to improve it will bring you often. Thank you for visiting.
Hi, I was admiring your recipe for Český Chléb. At first glace I thought it was rye bread. However, when I looked at the list of ingredients, it called for whole wheat flour, not rye flour. I m wondering, could you have meant whole grain rye flour?
I use whole wheat and regular white flour, but I’m sure you could easily substitute Rye flour instead.
