- 350 ml Water(lukewarm)
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 10 g Salt

👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar (if using). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, bread flour, salt, mashed potato, caraway seeds, and fermented rye malt (if using).
- 3
Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Rye dough can be sticky; add a little more flour if necessary, but avoid making it too stiff.
- 5
Lightly oil a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 6
Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a round or oval loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a floured tea towel.
- 7
Cover the loaf again and let it rise for another 45-60 minutes, or until it has visibly increased in size.
- 8
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 9
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Rye bread benefits from cooling for at least a few hours, or even overnight, to develop its full flavor and texture.
