Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons for greasing
- Caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Molasses
- 1/2 cup
- Warm water
- 1 cup
- Active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Rye flour
- 2 cups
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and yeast. Stir to mix evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water and molasses. Stir until the molasses is completely dissolved in the water.
- Slowly pour the molasses mixture into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms.
- Add the salt and caraway seeds to the dough. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan with the vegetable oil.
- Transfer the risen dough into the greased loaf pan, and smooth the top using wet hands, creating a uniform surface.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread turns a beautiful golden brown and emits a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
- Finally, remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For a variation, try adding 1/2 cup of dried fruit or nuts to the dough before the first rise.
- This bread pairs wonderfully with hearty stews or a sharp cheese.
