Doing the marble rye today! It's not explicit from the recipe when to combine the light and dark doughs - I'm guessing after bulk proving, as your process describes combining when shaping? Just want to confirm. Thanks for putting me on this E European journey!
I made this over the weekend. I couldn’t find instant espresso so I used Starbucks instant Italian Roast coffee, which seemed to be fine. I also added anise seeds instead of caraway. Bread came out very moist, and the coffee and cocoa seemed very well balanced. The cornstarch wash is a bit hard to apply and I can’t tell how much of a difference it makes. Bottom line - very tasty loaf.
Delish!! Absolutely delish. I may not have gotten the point of the cornstarch wash, as it didn't seem shiny. Maybe I didn't use enough. Also, I don't love this type of scoring but you seemed pretty adamant about doing it this way. I suppose any scoring will do??
Used honey instead of molasses, not as earthy a flavor, but still worked. Interested to try the light version now. Great texture and flavor, and moist crumb. Thermometer check for doneness was helpful too.

Made my day! Nothing better than a great loaf of bread and a laugh! I’m so glad I found you!
Long live Frank Costanza.
Schnitzer's marble rye...the best scene is when Jerry steals the rye from the old woman.

what do you do with. the scald? Is that the rye paste?
