Sauerrye

This is bread number 8, a rye bread made with sauerkraut, of all things. The sauerkraut was intended to suggest the sour flavor of a sourdough/levain bread. Well. The thing is, the recipe suggested that commercial sauerkraut (and no, I didn't use the homemade stuff for this) would be salty enough that the bread wouldn't need salt. This turned out not to be the case, and the bread is only about half as salty as it should be.

The other bread I've made from this book was the too-salty bread with breadcrumbs. So I'm a bit disappointed. The book (Brother Juniper's Bread Book) is good, but the recipes so far seem to be a bit off.
