How to Make Delicious German Rye Bread
- In a large bowl, combine wholewheat flour (300g), rye flour (200g), rolled rye (100g), salt (10g), and caraway seeds (15g).
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add the lukewarm water or beer (200-250ml), yeast (20g fresh or 2 tsp dried), and brown sugar/molasses (optional, 50g) to the well.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more water or beer, a tablespoon at a time. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Gently punch down the dough.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan and dust with flour.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan.
- Let the dough rise again until almost doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. A deep golden brown crust indicates it's ready.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious German Rye Bread!
