Petaluma Rye (Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book)

Whisk together; make a well:

750g whole wheat flour
130g rye flour
14g salt
43g buttermilk powder (calls for 300mL buttermilk, which would be added to the liquid measure)

Pour into well and mix in enough to resemble pancake batter:

175g hot water
45g honey (2T)
300mL water (because we use buttermilk powder)
26g oil (2T)
33g lemon juice (2T)

Mix in 5g instant yeast (7g active dry) and mix until dough comes together. Kneading will take a good 20 minutes. First rise: about an hour and a half, depending on temp. Second rise should take about half the time of the first rise. Shape and proof. Bake at 350*F about 45 minutes.

This was excellent.
Grapefruit Curd

Zest of one grapefruit (8g)
130g juice (from one grapefruit)
3 eggs
75g sugar
56g unsalted butter
pinch salt

Yielded 1 3/4c. I think grapefruit is best as marmalade.
