Seeking a recipe for Alex's Wuppertaler bread (rye and potato- no wheat)
Hi all,
I have recently come across a delicious bread called Alex's Wuppertaler bread.
The ingredients listed are
- Sour rye dough balm
- Bread making rye flour
- Salt
- Potato
- Olive oil (cholesterol free)
- Herbs and spices
- Water added
It's a lovely bread but comes all the way from Melbourne and i would love to know if anyone has any recipes with similar ingredients to this one that i could give a try
Cheers

and includes the potato. Don't quite know what "sour rye dough balm" could be... rye starter perhaps?
Seems potato bread is popular in the Wuppertal (Germany) and is a tourist attraction. In other words, they're known for it. (All the way from Melbourne? Hmmm ...and Alex has a version...)
How close do you want to get involved with high % Rye? :) The potato is not tricky (used in bread recipes for a long, long time) it's the rye. Rye and wheat are quite different, sort of like the difference between a Mac and a PC.
Do you happen to have a picture? You could use my favorite ratio and exchange the water for potato water with a mashed up cooked potato, increase the salt to 2% and play with the hydromechanics (not a big deal.)
