Description

This classic rye bread combines the earthy depth of whole grain rye flour with the sweetness of molasses and honey for a rich, satisfying loaf. The addition of caraway seeds provides a traditional aromatic kick that pairs beautifully with the warm, spiced flavor profile. With a crust that cracks satisfyingly and a soft, dense interior, this bread is perfect for hearty sandwiches, serving alongside soups, or simply toasted with butter. It captures the rustic charm of homemade baking while remaining approachable for intermediate bakers. Enjoy the aroma filling your kitchen as it bakes, and savor the comforting, robust taste that defines this international staple.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar in warm water; let stand until foamy.
  2. Stir in molasses, honey, remaining sugar, shortening, salt, caraway seeds, and finely grated orange rind.
  3. Gradually add rye flour and all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.
  6. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  9. Bake loaf for 30-40 minutes, or until deep brown and sounding hollow when tapped.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
