Rye is my favorite hearty bread! This is my second, much better attempt at making it myself. I’m very happy with how this came out and I’m planning on sharing my favorite way to eat it tomorrow 🙂
You’ll Need:
1 packet or 2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp melted butter
1 egg
1 cup milk, warmed to 110 degrees
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup rye flour
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp caraway seeds
1 tsp vegetable oil or vegetable spray to spray pan and proofing bowl
1 egg, beaten
You’ll:
In the bottom of a stand mixer, mix together the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg and milk and beat for one minute. The add in the salt, rye flour, all purpose flour and caraway. Mix on medium speed until a dough forms and it starts to climb the hook. Place in a greased bowl and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. After the first rise, turn out on a floured surface and knead a few times. Turn the ends in, under the loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow to rise for another hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a pastry brush, brush the last egg on top of the dough. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
That looks beautiful! I’m definitely pinning this one!
