Notes about this recipe

    I had read the reviews about this being a sticky dough, but thought I would be up to it. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be quick-to-make bread did not turn out that way for me. The recipe as written is 95% hydration! No wonder. I struggled through it regardless. The results are tasty so will likely try again but probably with some tweaks. I do like the presentation with the 8 deeply-cut wedges. Reminds me of scones.

    We liked this. Dough was a bit sticky but not horrible to work with. Tasted great.

    This is the soda bread that I make when I have rye flour on hand. The flavor is excellent. Like Carrie, I find the dough quite sticky, but do my best to minimize the handling to keep it as light as possible and haven't had to add extra flour. I also haven't experienced the dough turning out dry, but I will report back if that happens to me in the future. (FWIW, I use cup measurements for this recipe.)

    The flavor of this bread is great, but my loaf was very dense. Unlike cespitler, my dough was quite dry (I only had two cups of buttermilk, so decided to just go with it), so perhaps that's why it was on the heavy side. Still, this is so much quicker than typical rye bread recipes that it is worth making again, especially with the fabulous dill butter.

    This is awesome with the dill butter (also in the book) - it worked great for a picnic lunch.

    Seriously quick to make and absolutely delicious with the dill butter. I'm just about to make a second batch so that I can use up my buttermilk and I know my friends will appreciate the gift when I show up for dinner tonight. My dough was very sticky, too. So, I added extra rye flour and it came together just fine. The slashes definitely make for a beautiful presentation.
