Ingredients
- 360 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 15 g Granulated sugar
- 400 g Bread flour
- 150 g Rye flour
- 8 g Salt
- 30 g Unsalted butter, softened
- 60 ml Milk
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently, then let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, rye flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or fork.
Step 3
Add the softened butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Then pour in the activated yeast mixture.
Step 4
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 8
Cover with a damp cloth and let the loaf rise again for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 9
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 10
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 11
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
