Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits into the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Loaf

    Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
