RE: Bo zakwas był zły

Ok I grokked most of that. It is obviously like a sourdough sort of bread with a close dense texture which is what I expect from a rye bread. But do you add anything to it to keep it moist? I know rye breads I have tried seem to dry out very quickly. I've tried adding oil and water even butter at one point but that started to taste like a tea loaf in the end.

Just curious. How long does it keep before being too dry to eat?

Sort:  

The rye one stays fresh for about five days, sometimes more, but usually we eat it before that.
It is a very high hydration - 400 g flour and 400g water, so it is very moist, and the wholemeal rye flour absorbs and keeps a lot of it, so it's very soft and moist. Also the rolled oats helps with it. See the recipe: https://breadcentric.com/2016/11/23/simple-rye-bread-prosty-chleb-zytni/

Ok, Cheers!
