Method

1. Place 250g of the rye flour and the yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add around 180ml of tepid water and mix it thoroughly to make a thick batter

2. Set the dough aside to rest for around 2 hours, until the batter has risen and then fallen.

3. Add the remaining flour, remaining tepid water, salt, treacle, butter and caraway seeds and mix together making a pliable dough.

4. Dust the inside of a rye loaf basket with flour. Shape the dough into a loaf and place in the basket. Set aside to rise for 2 hours.

5. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.

6. Place the risen loaf on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Dust lightly with rye flour and bake for 30 minutes.

Tradional German Rye Bread with Butter and fresh yeast? Very strange! Rye bread is mostly done with Sourdough.
