Hi-Country Dark Rye Blend is specially formulated for dark rye breads and peasant breads. It has the perfect blend of dark rye and premium, high-strength bread flours. Because rye flour does not have the gluten needed for breads, we have blended in just enough wheat gluten. Then, we added our professional dough conditioner to enhance the gluten development further and create the right environment for optimum yeast performance. Substitute this blend for the flour in any of your favorite recipes for great bread baking. With better flours and the right dough conditioner, your loaves will turn out just right. You'll love the results. This instant yeast is the best we've found. It hydrates nearly instantly and produces superior results. Dark rye flour is flour that still has most of the bran and germ. The bran leaves the flour darker just as the bran in wheat flour makes for brown bread. Still, to get the dark color of many rye breads, molasses, caramel color or even cocoa is added. This blend works especially well in dark rye breads and will produce excellent results in many recipes.
