In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and caraway seeds (if using). Mix well.
Add the drained and finely chopped sauerkraut to the dry ingredients. Mix until the sauerkraut is evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil. Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough.
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more all-purpose flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a lightly oiled loaf pan.
Cover the dough loosely with the kitchen towel again and allow it to rise for another 30-45 minutes until it puffs up slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has finished its second rise, use a sharp knife to score the top of the loaf with a few shallow slashes.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your sugar-free sauerkraut rye bread as a delicious base for sandwiches or toasted with a spread of butter!
