Did you use any wheat flour or anything? Still learning all my grains, but I had thought rye doesn't bind together on its own that well.

You could probably do 100% rye pancakes. You're right that it doesn't bind well, but there are eggs to help a little and pancakes don't need to rise much. Never actually done it though, but we used to make 100% gluten free bread in a bakery I used to work for.

Ah cool yes. I have done rye "quick" bread that doesn't use yeast, just baking soda (powder?) and extra eggs. Will have to see about those pancakes. I loooove rye flour.

A good way to use rye is as a sponge. Mix part of the rye content with part of the yeast and some of the water in percentages made up in your head. The rye and water are the same amount and the total mix is about 10% of the total recipe volume.

Actually, that is maybe confusing. Give me a rye bread recipe and I'll show you.

rye, honey, yeast and water. fermented for about 24 hours.

then some baking soda.

spread thin on the heated pan - makes a sticky, foamy, moist bread. wasn't right on for injera but was good. the bottom slides right off the pan and is very smooth, almost a thin paper crust, but as it cools turns sticky.

you don't bake it til dry, i don't know how that'd work. while moist it was quite sticky.

not to sound like a bad joke referencing the fact that I'm a woman, but I got home late and made myself a sandwich :ninja:

toasted pretzel bread with herb flavored laughing cow and roast beef... with a side of chips and salsa :cheese:

[MENTION=9552]momental[/MENTION] and I cooked lots and lots of food today and then stuffed our faces with it all. Crepes and raspberry smoothies for brunch, and penne with asparagus and shrimp in balsamic cream for dinner, with a spinach, cherry tomato and grape salad on the side. Also sponge cake with nutella frosting for dessert.

Yum.

I found a food blog with delicious ecuadorean and more recipes. I made apple cake and then salad with honeyed walnuts I made myself with feta cheese and crumbled egg. For dinner grilled cheese and spinach sandwich on wheat. And lots of omelettes and breakfast burritos. I love love coffee in the am. Viet style with condensed milk.

At some point I wanna try making empanadas.
