LIGHT RYE BREAD WITH CARAWAY SEEDS



Light Rye Bread With Caraway Seeds image

This doesn't use a "starter" and so can be made a little more on demand that the breads where it may take a week or longer to make a starter. It also uses some whole wheat flour as well as rye flour making this loaf is a little "lighter". You can leave out the caraway seeds if you prefer a bread without them. Read the directions thoroughly...I was confused the first time I read through as the flours are added at different times.

Time 3h55m

Yield 2 loaves, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups scalded milk

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 pkg)

1 egg white (beaten for egg wash)

Steps:

  • In a large heat-proof bowl or stand mixer bowl, pour scalded milk over butter, sugar and salt. Stir and cool.

  • Divide the dough in half and shape into 2 oblong or round loaves. Place on parchment lined or greased baking sheets or in 9x5 loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled- about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your bread.
  • Make sure your yeast is active. If it's not, your bread won't rise properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your bread chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make your bread light and airy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Caraway yeast bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
