Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups rye flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 tbsp caraway seeds, plus extra for topping
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seeds, molasses, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the top of the loaf with vegetable oil and sprinkle with extra caraway seeds.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
