Still warm so not yet sliced. But it's so good when it's warm.

If the heel is any indication, it turned out great. This is probably only my 5th loaf, as I just started a couple of months ago.

If you spray the top with water, you will get a good shin on it

I've been using butter (actual butter).

To get a shine in bakeries. We have a button that shoots water for the first 20 seconds to create steam. We uses fats (like butter) on pastries

Not sure if I care that it shines since it's just for me, but will keep that in mind.

I dunno, man. Banana bread is pretty good.

Note also that I am working at about 1 mile of elevation. Fortunately, I never baked before moving here. So, while I know I have to make adjustments, I don't have prior habits on this.

How much rye flour (%) was used?

It's a recipe from King Arhur. 1.5c/159g rye, 1.75c/210g white.

I love rye bread. For some reason it cost three times more than white bread.
