1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, salt, and caraway seeds until evenly distributed.

3
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

5
Let the Dough Rise
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

6
Shape the Bread
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7
Second Rise
Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen just above the rim of the pan.

8
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the loaf with olive oil and sprinkle with additional caraway seeds.
9
Bake the Bread
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10
Cool the Bread
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack completely before slicing.
