How to Make Buttermilk Rye Bread

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and molasses until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rye flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and caraway seeds.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
