SWEDISH RYE BREAD

Another blue ribbon bread. This bread is hearty, but not heavy, has a nice flavor, and makes great sandwiches. It is not as easy and light to knead as my white bread... maybe it builds muscles! We all love this bread, my mother especially loved it. This freezes well, if you want to save the second loaf for another time.

Time 5h

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 ounce dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark molasses
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening (Crisco)
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 1/2 cups rye flour
3 tablespoons caraway seeds
4 cups unbleached flour, sifted or 4 cups bread flour

Steps:

  • Put warm water into glass measuring (1) cup and check temperature with thermometer.
  • Sprinkle yeast into warm water and let stand.
  • In another glass measuring cup (2 cup) place water and Crisco.
  • Microwave to hot, to melt fat.
  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, molasses, and salt.
  • Pour the Crisco water into bowl. (I usually pour it into, over the bowl, the 1/4 measuring cup I had the sugar, then the molasses inches To get all of the goodies into the bowl!).
  • Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Cool to lukewarm (85°F It will probably cool to that as you dissolve the sugar, you just don't want to kill the yeast with too high a temp.).
  • Stir in rye flour and beat well. (I use my electric hand mixer).
  • Add yeast and caraway seed, and mix well.
  • Stir in enough regular flour to make a soft dough.
  • Cover with clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Generously sprinkle kneading surface with flour.
  • Knead for 10 minutes.
  • Place dough in lightly greased bowl and turn to coat all surfaces.
  • Cover and let rise in warm draft free space, until doubled, about 2 hours.
  • Punch down.
  • Turn out onto lightly floured surface.
  • Divide in two (I use a bread knife to slice the ball in half).
  • Shape each piece into smooth ball, cover, and let rest 10 minutes (this is called proofing).
  • Form each into two round loaves, and place on greased baking sheet.
  • Cover and let rise in warm place (I put them in oven with the light on) until doubled again, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • If you put them in oven to rise, make sure you take them out before lighting oven!
  • Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes.
  • If loaves are getting too brown, you may cover with foil near the end of baking.
  • Brush tops, when done, with butter for a soft crust.

SWEDISH RYE BREAD

Categories     Bread     Side     Bake     Rye

Yield makes two 9 × 5-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons each caraway seeds, anise seed, and fennel seeds
Freshly grated zest of 1 orange
2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to 105° to 115°F
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups medium rye flour
3 to 3 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour (wheat)

Steps:

  • Grind the caraway seeds, anise seed, and fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle or a spice or coffee grinder and place in a large bowl with the orange zest and milk.
  • In a large warmed bowl, mix the yeast and molasses with 1/4 cup warm (105° to 115°F) water. Let stand about 5 minutes or until the yeast foams. Add the milk mixture, salt, and melted butter. Beat in the rye flour until smooth. Beat in enough bread flour to make a stiff dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Knead, adding flour sparingly, until the dough is smooth and springy, about 10 minutes. If desired, you may mix and knead the dough in a heavy-duty mixer using the dough hook.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough down. Turn it out onto a lightly oiled board. Knead to squeeze out air bubbles. Divide the dough into two pieces and shape into two oblong loaves. Grease two 9 × 5-inch loaf pans. Place the loaves in the pans smooth side up. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 325°F. Bake on the center rack for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean and dry. Remove the bread from the pans and cool on a wire rack.

SWEDISH RYE BREAD II

An aromatic rye bread with a hint of orange and honey. A friend gave me a loaf of this bread as a hostess gift and was thoughtful enough to pass along the recipe.

Provided by GINGER P

Categories     Rye Bread

Time 3h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
4 ½ cups hot water
¾ cup honey
3 tablespoons salt
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons orange zest
1 ½ tablespoons caraway seed
6 tablespoons butter, softened
7 ½ cups rye flour
7 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm (110 degree F) water. Let sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the hot water in a large mixing bowl, add the honey, salt, sugar, orange zest, caraway seeds and butter; briefly stir. Let cool to lukewarm.
  • Combine the yeast mixture with the honey orange mixture. Stir in the rye flour. Mix the bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, lightly grease three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into three equal pieces. Form each piece into a loaf and place in prepared pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top of the loaves are golden and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your bread. Use fresh, high-quality rye flour, and make sure your yeast is active and fresh.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven: The bread should be baked in a hot oven in order to get a crispy crust. Bake the bread at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Swedish rye bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast bread or a healthy snack, Swedish rye bread is a great option.
