Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 250 grams Whole rye flour
  • 250 grams Whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
  • 25 grams Unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 350 milliliters Warm water
  • 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole rye flour and whole wheat flour. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

Add instant yeast to the flour mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 6

Add the melted butter to the dough mixture and knead it by hand in the bowl until it is slightly sticky but cohesive.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 9

Flatten the dough slightly, sprinkle the caraway seeds over it, and fold it over to incorporate them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 10

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to preheat.

Step 12

Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release trapped air and shape it into a round loaf or a rectangular loaf to fit your loaf pan if using.

Step 13

Place the shaped dough on a sheet of parchment paper and cover lightly. Let it proof for another 30 minutes while the oven continues to heat.

Step 14

Carefully transfer the parchment with the proofed dough onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the bread is deeply browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 16

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
