my very, very sad rye bread (wound up getting a loaf at whole foods). i read over a few recipes for no knead rye bread and i figured it would be just like my other no knead loaves. nope, effers never rose. first time i thought the yeast was bad, but i opened another packet for the second loaf -which i inadvertently destroyed - and the third one. i'll try increasing the yeast next time and see if that makes a difference.
dad seemed happy about it, but the husband was blown away. i guess i know what he's getting for his birthday next month.

But your pastrami and cole slaw look absolutely delicious and I'm glad the menfolks liked it!

(24,146 posts)A bit smaller than the white, but still good sized. If the extra yeast doesn't work, I'll try baking a regular loaf. That will be a whole new adventure.
Husband liked it so much, he had two giant sandwiches last night.
