Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sourdough starter, sugar, barley malt syrup, and vegetable oil. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the starter.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast over the liquid mixture and stir gently to dissolve.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, rye flour, salt, and caraway seeds.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky. Add additional rye flour if necessary.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape into a loaf and place into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover and let rise again for 45-60 minutes, until the dough rises about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
  9. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190ðF (88ðC).
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
