HOME-MADE BREAD: This is another recipe that produces a hearty loaf of bread that is healthy and delicious.



RYE BREAD:

 

 

 


2 to 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour                                   

2 cups rye flour

2 tbsp. active dry yeast                                               

¾ cup warm water + 1 tsp. sugar                                                                     

1 cup warm milk

3 tbsp. honey                                                              

2 tbsp. oil

2 tsp. salt                                                                    

1 tbsp. caraway seeds

egg wash

 

 

 

 
Proof yeast for 10-15 minutes in warm water with sugar added. Stir down and let stand 5 minutes more.

 

Put 2 cups all purpose flour, the rye flour, salt and caraway seeds in the mixing bowl of   standing mixer with dough hook attached. Swirl mixture at Speed 2 for a few seconds. With machine running, add in warm milk, honey and oil. Continue kneading, adding ¾ cup of all purpose flour gradually until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead dough for 2 minutes more.

 

Place dough in greased bowl, turning it over to grease all over. Cover dough with tea towel and allow dough to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in bulk.

 

Punch down dough, and turn it out onto floured surface. Divide dough into 2 portions. Cover and let rest for 25 minutes. 

 

Shape dough into 2 round loaves and place them on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk. 

 

Brush loaves with egg wash. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 35 to 50 minutes, or until done.
