Method
Breads Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and rye flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and divide it into smaller portions. Shape them into loaves or rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
Let the shaped dough rise for another 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
