Anyone came across Bran or Rye here for breadmaking?

[Kenny202]

Been making my own bread here for 5 years and every now and then try something different. I can buy wholewheat where I live, but been craving a darker denser loaf lately. Rye perhaps? I'm not even sure how you make Rye bread, When I do whole wheat I normally chuck in a cup or two of wholewheat and a little more water to my normal tried and true mix. Anyone see Rye around or any tips on a darker healthier loaf?

I've seen Rye flour in Rimping from time to time.

Villa normally has Rye flour

Have also seen those various types of flour in TOPS, much of it from Australia.

Yeah looking for something at a realistic price. Buying bread flour and additives from Tops would cost you 200 baht to make a loaf of bread. But thanks for the info ????

Lazada looks the cheapest option but the pic of their Rye flour looks a little too white?? They may have dark rye flour or similar.

I think they darken it with cocoa or other additives. I ordered 2kg of the cheaper one. Has a lot of good reviews so can't be too bad ???? Thanks for the advice guys.

Kindly post a photo of the loaf Kenny, I often get inspired reading this section of Thaivisa.

Cheers.

Have a good look around your local bread supply shop. 

In Phetchabun City we have two such good places, I buy Rye from them at 540B for a 5KG sack, known as Pan Li Dam. 

For Rye bread I use it lightly, 100g Rye + 400g bread flour ratio. Watch water amount, I use 320ml per half kg. Bake in hotter oven than white death bread. 

I make a few Kgs every week for German/Swiss customers,

We got 2 really good bakery shops here but no rye. They would probably order it for me, but 100 baht per kg off Lazada sounds ok. I got my standard white loaf recipe Ive perfected. From what Ive read normal ration 70/30 white / rye flour. Do you find you need a bit more or less water than a standard white flour loaf? Do you use caroway seeds?

[Kenny202]

Got the Rye flour and some Caraway seed today. Made my normal loaf which is normally a kilo bread flour (2 x big loaves) but instead used 700 grams flour and 300 grams Rye flour. 2 tablespoons of cocoa and the same of Caraway seeds and a couple of cups of whole meal flour. Normally use 3 1/4 cups water but added a bit more. Very pleased with the results. Nice and moist but dense. The way I made it certainly not a light loaf but very tasty.
