#37 Bavarian Pumpernickel and #38 Hutzelbrot with Dried Fruit


Because both of these breads require a mash, I chose to make them at the same time. For both, I went with the powdered malt and the optional altus. Other than that, I pretty much followed the recipes.

Considering my track record with ryes, it shouldn't be too surprising that both of these produced heavy, dense, unpleasant loaves. And, frankly (as you can see from the pictures,) two butt-ugly loaves.

Clearly, my technique with ryes needs works. These were two forgettable loaves I don't plan to make again.
