Bauernbrot (German Farmer Bread) image

German Farmer Bread similar to what is found in when purchasing Bauernbrot in a Bavarian bakery in Germany. Great with butter and cold cuts, or just plain butter. My sons' favorite is with salami and aged "Moon Cheese".

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 1/4 fluid ounces water (luke-warm)
1 (1/4 ounce) packet active dry yeast
3 1/4 teaspoons non-iodized salt
5 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/4 cups rye flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in water.
  • Knead flour and salt into water mixture creating a smooth dough (Optimal when dough easily comes out of the mixing bowl).
  • Let rise in a warm place for 20 min in a covered, greased bowl.
  • Place a baking pan in bottom of oven and preheat to 480 Deg F.
  • Reknead the dough for a short time and form into a loaf. (or 2, a shorter baking time will result).
  • Place on a greased baking sheet (baking stone). Cover with damp cloth and let the dough rest until doubled in height (aprox 30-60 min) Tip: for a nicer crust brush the loaf with buttermilk, yogurt or coffee periodically. Do not let the surface of the dough dry out.
  • Place the dough and with its baking sheet in the oven. Then pour some boiling water into the baking sheet that is already in the bottom of the oven. (to quickly create steam in the oven)
  • Lower the oven temperature to 430 Deg F.
  • Bake the loaf until desired brownness (40-60 min).
  • To test for doneness, knock on bottom of loaf. If it produces a hollow sound it is ready to remove from oven and place on cooling rack until cool.

I'm allergic to caraway seeds, so I substituted them with poppy seeds. The bread still turned out great! I love the crispy crust and the soft, chewy inside.

This bread is way too complicated to make. I spent hours in the kitchen and it still didn't turn out right. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say when to add the salt or the caraway seeds. I had to guess and it turned out okay, but I would have liked to have more guidance.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more water to the dough next time. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

I'm not a huge fan of caraway seeds, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The bread was delicious, even without the caraway seeds. I will definitely be making this again.

This is the best Bauernbrot recipe I've ever tried! The bread is so soft and fluffy, and the crust is perfectly crispy. I love the flavor of the caraway seeds. I will definitely be making this bread again and again.
