  • Preparation: 113 min
  • Cooking: 48 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (119 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 50 g Flour, rye
  • 15 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
  • 5 g Molasses
  • 1.5 g Caraway seeds
  • 1.2 g Salt
  • 45 g Water

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water with the molasses and leave for 10 minutes until frothy. This makes 1 slice of dough; multiply by 12 and shape into a loaf tin for a whole loaf.
  2. Mix the rye flour, bread flour, caraway seeds and salt into the yeast liquid and knead into a firm, slightly sticky dough for about 8 minutes.
  3. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until noticeably puffed (rye dough rises less than wheat dough).
  4. Shape into a loaf, place in a greased tin, and let it rise again for 45 minutes.
  5. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 45-50 minutes until the crust is dark brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped; cool completely before slicing, as rye bread cuts best the next day.
