Rye bread

[Barriehie]

Its very simple.

Barriehie's is more complex but doesn't contain molasses unless I am missing something?

I'll use molasses if making it in the winter. More sugary since it's cooler in the house.

Are you all using 100% rye flour?
I found I could use my "normal" recipe going up to about 40% rye flour

No, mines right around 36% or so.

I've very rarely used all rye flour - its very heavy and can get claggy on its own I find. I mostly mix rye and bread flour.

My NY rye has sourdough starter, light rye flour, wholewheat flour and white bread flour in it. Overnight dough or long day.

Well spotted!
Cocoa!

I make pumpernickel rye that is dark. I put cocoa powder, coffee, and molasses in mine. It's a mix of bread flour and dark rye, and I also use sourdough starter.

I'm not a fan of caraway seeds so I never make seeded rye breads.
