About

This tasty loaf should have a fairly open crumb and a cinnamon aroma. You should be able to taste the sweetness of the brown sugar and apples, a hint of sourness from the yoghurt and an earthiness from the rye flour.

Ingredients

40 g (1½ oz) white starter
110 g (

Method

To mix the apple, yoghurt, rye and cinnamon loaf by hand, put the white starter in a large bowl with the rye and plain flours, yoghurt, water, yeast, sugar and sea salt. Mix together with a large spoon until the mixture comes together to form a dough, about 5 minutes. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead into a ball with your hands for about 15 minutes, or until smooth.
