Rye Bread

Servings 1 loaf of bread

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 C warm milk 105 degrees F
  • 1 C rye flour
  • 2 1/2 C all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 2 lg eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds
  • Oil for coating the dough
  • Kosher salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment in place, combine the yeast, sugar and warm milk. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast begins to foam.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flours.
  • Add the butter, one of the eggs, salt, caraway seeds and one cup of the flour to the yeast mixture.
  • Start out on low speed and work up to medium while adding small amounts of the flour until all is incorporated. Mix for 8-10 minutes or until a ball of dough is formed and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Drizzle the oil over the dough and turn to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour.
  • Lightly oil a 9 inch bread loaf pan. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until all seams are tucked in. Place the dough in the loaf pan and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with a fork and lightly brush the top of the bread loaf. Sprinkle kosher salt on top and bake for 45 minutes. The top will be lightly browned.
