Yield Makes 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

4 cups rye flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup untoasted sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly crushed
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces, plus more for pans
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons mixed seeds (sunflower, sesame, flax, and cumin), for sprinkling

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a baking sheet on center rack. Butter four 6-by-3-by-2-inch loaf pans, line with parchment, and butter parchment.
Mix flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and seeds. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk together yogurt, milk, honey, and eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture, and pour in yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine (batter will be sticky). Spoon batter into pans, smoothing the tops. Scatter mixed seeds on top of batter.
Transfer pans to baking sheet, and bake until loaves are slightly cracked and golden brown, about 1 hour. (A skewer inserted into centers should come out clean.) Let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks, and let stand for 2 hours.

Tips:

Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially for the rye flour and water.
If you don't have a kitchen scale, use measuring cups and level them off with a knife.
Make sure the water is warm, but not hot, when you add it to the yeast.
Let the dough rise in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake the bread in a regular loaf pan, but you will need to add a pan of water to the oven to create steam.
Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
Let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
