Instructions
For the Sponge | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Combine medium rye flour, bread flour, yeast, and warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir to combine and let sit for 30 minutes, covered. |
| 2. | For the Dough: Add the remaining ingredients to the mixer bowl and attach the dough hook. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes, then increase to medium speed for 4 more minutes. The dough will be slightly sticky. |
| 3. | Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 hour. |
| 4. | Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself to form a loaf shape. |
| 5. | Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, place the shaped dough inside. Let rise until it reaches the top edge of the pan, about 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. |
| 6. | Preheat the oven to 400°F towards the end of rising time. Cut vents in the top of the bread, then bake on the middle shelf. |
| 7. | Optional step: Place a baking sheet with ice cubes in the oven for a crispier crust. Bake until golden brown with an internal temperature of 195°F. |
| 8. | Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. |
