Rye Bread Dough, Waiting to Rise |
- 1 Envelope Yeast
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Warm Milk
- 1 and 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
- 1 Cup Rye Flour
- 2 and 1/2 Cups Bread Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Caraway Seeds
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 Large Egg, Beaten
The Method:
Combine the yeast, sugar, 2 eggs, and milk with a dough hook. Add the salt, rye, flour, and caraway seeds. Beat on medium until the dough forms a ball. Using the olive oil, grease a large glass bowl. Place the dough ball in the bowl and cover. Let sit to rise for one hour

Risen Rye Dough |
Knead the dough into the desired shape. I prefer something short and fat that I can slice and make sandwiches out of. Place the shaped dough in to a bread pan and let rise another hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with a water bath. A water bath can be as simple as a pot of water on the lower rack of the oven. Wash the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack.
Happy eating!
