Tips:

If you want the sourdough starter for the rye bread, you should have it ready by the time you want to make the actual bread.
Dissolve rye malt syrup and caraway seeds in warm water before mixing with other ingredients; this will help bring out their flavor.
Mix the ingredients together slowly to avoid overworking the dough and making it tough.
Let the dough rise for at least 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the bread develop its flavor and texture.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45-50 minutes, or until it has an internal temperature of 190°F.

Conclusion:

New York rye bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even croutons. With the right ingredients and a little time, you can easily make this classic bread at home. Whether you use a sourdough starter or commercial yeast, be sure to follow the tips above to ensure your bread turns out perfect every time.
