Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, salt, instant yeast, and brown sugar until thoroughly mixed.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the warm water and olive oil. Stir until well mixed.

Dough Making

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to form a shaggy dough.

  2. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Rising

  1. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.

  3. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan, cover it again, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Baking

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 9

    Bake the Bread

    Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  3. 10

    Cool

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
