1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup rye flour
1 tablespoon shortening, melted
1 tablespoon caraway seeds, or to taste

RYE BATTER BREAD



Rye Batter Bread image

My brother lives in a part of the country that does not recognize rye bread - not at all! So I've been searching for an easy rye bread recipe, and ran across this one, from the Fleischman Yeast company. Batter breads are an easy introduction to yeast breads for beginning bakers. Any kind of rye flour can be used - light, medium, pumpernickel . Sunflower seeds or other seeds can be substituted for the caraway. Batter breads tend to be softer than more traditional recipe breads so that your slices will be a bit thicker.The recipe originally called for 2 tsp salt, which I've reduced to 1 1/2 tsp.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups warm water, 100-110 deg. F
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rye flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Place 1/4 cup of the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it, stirring to dissolve.
  • Add the remaining water, honey, and butter.
  • Slowly stir in the rye flour and 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, blending well.
  • Stir in the remaining flour, salt and the caraway seeds, to make a stiff batter. Cover and let rest 20 minutes.
  • Stir down the batter and pour into a greased 9 x 5 loaf pan. Cover and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake in a 350 deg oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until done. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.
  • Note: The batter should be stiff - like a kuchen or other cake batter. It should not be so stiff that you could imagine kneading it, nor as thin as pancake batter.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk for a tangy flavor. Buttermilk adds a slightly sour flavor to the bread, which pairs well with the rye flour. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven. The bread should be baked in a hot oven (375°F) for about 45 minutes. This will give the bread a crispy crust and a soft interior.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing. Once the bread is baked, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Rye bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy a delicious loaf of rye bread that is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own. So what are you waiting for?
