Servings loaf

Prep Time7 20

Bake Time45

Ingredients

Sponge

¾ cup Arrowhead Mills Organic Rye Flour
¾ cup Arrowhead Mills Organic All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon instant dried yeast
1 ½ cups water at room temperature

Dough

1 ½ cups Arrowhead Mills Organic All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Arrowhead Mills Organic Rye Flour
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons instant dried yeast
2 teaspoons salt
Additional oil, rye and flour for kneading

Instructions

To Make Sponge

In a large bowl whisk all the sponge ingredients together until well combined; set aside in a warm place for about 10 minutes.

To Make Dough

Meanwhile, in another large bowl combine rye flour and all-purpose flours, caraway seeds, yeast and salt.
Sprinkle this flour mixture over the sponge mixture and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for about 3 to 4 hours to ferment.
With a dough hook attachment beat the dough for about 2 minutes at low speed then 10 minutes on medium speed.
Your dough should look smooth and elastic. (If kneading by hand turn dough out on to a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic)
Cover dough and let rest for about 20 minutes then place into a clean, oiled bowl.
Rub top of dough with a little oil; cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 to 1 ½ hours.

Combine and Bake

Knead dough for about 5 minutes then return it to the bowl: cover and let rise for another hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Shape the dough into a loaf shape and place on an oiled baking sheet. Cut 3 or 4 slits in the top of the loaf from side to side. Sprinkle with caraway seeds if desired.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F then lower temperature to 400°F bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
