You can use whatever flour you have. You will probably need to adjust the water a bit as different flours absorb water at different rates.
 
This is my third and last attempt at a rye. The first 2 where all rye flour so hoping the bread flour mix will be better. I might have to get some of that enhancer. Suppose to lighten up the texture. I might also add some of that pickle juice if doing yours. I could probably strain the rye flour some.
 
I took a photo out of her cookbook. I hope you can read it. BTW Judy feeds her starter every week.
Here is the original recipe from Allrecipes:

Al. I thinking of trying Judy's variation recipe. Could you ask her if she follows the directions on the other one? 350 degrees oven seems pretty low. I am use to doing sourdough at 470.

Yes she bakes it at 350 for loaves. If she’s making buns she does them at 400. She now bakes them in our air fryer, which is out on the patio, so the house doesn’t get hot. Actually she just made a loaf yesterday, cause I smoked a ham yesterday too. Can’t have a ham & cheese sammie without good rye bread!
Good luck!
