OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS. I was making "Black Bread" from the Game of Thrones cookbook and the recipe calls for almost half rye flour. When I first felt the dough, I was concerned. And then it just barely rose. The recipe was bad, and didn't call for enough rising time (after reading your article I realized this). I gave it more time to rise (although it did not rise very much) and then baked it and it turned out amazing!
