Why measuring rye flour by cup goes wrong
Rye contains pentosans — gummy carbohydrates that hold water but don't form gluten the way wheat does. A rye dough always feels tacky and slack compared to a wheat dough at the same hydration. That's the dough behaving correctly. By weight, a cup of dark rye runs about 102 grams, lighter than wheat by a noticeable margin.
Practical tips for working with rye flour
Don't try to knead rye into a smooth, elastic ball. Mix until everything is hydrated, do a few stretch-and-folds in the bowl, and let the fermentation do the work. Most home rye breads use 20–40 percent rye flour with the rest as bread flour, which keeps the loaf from being a dense brick while still delivering the flavor.
Note from this ingredient's record: Low gluten development — rye doughs are tacky on purpose, not under-floured.
