Nutrition-Packed Rye Bread
- 200 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 50 grams Rye flour (finely ground)
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 and 2/3 teaspoon Dry yeast
- 170 ml Water
- 1 Ry flour (for dusting)
- Add 1/2 the listed amounts of both strong flour and rye flour to a bowl.
- Mix the sugar and yeast and add to the bowl.
- (I used brown cane sugar.)
- Pour in the water over the yeast, then mix with a spatula.
- Add the rest of the flour and the salt, then mix until the dough forms a ball.
- Remove from the bowl, and knead on a work surface.
- The dough will be sticky, but do not add flour.
- In order to make a smooth, elastic dough, slam the dough hard against the work surface several times.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for about 10 to 20 minutes.
- Form the dough into a ball, transfer to the bowl, wrap in plastic and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes for the first proving.
- (I let it rise in the bath area.)
- When the dough doubles in height, coat a finger in flour, then poke it down deep into the dough.
- If the hole does not close, it's finished rising.
- Coat your hand lightly in flour, then punch down the dough several times to deflate.
- Using a bench scraper (or spatula) remove the dough from the bowl, then quarter it with a knife.
- Form the sections into a ball while pressing out any remaining air, pinch the bottom of the ball and seal.
- Place a damp kitchen towel over the dough, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Dust hands with rye flour, then press down on dough to deflate, then reshape into a ball.
- Coat the surface of the ball of dough with rye flour.
- With a knife, slash a leaf pattern into the dough.
- Let sit for 25 minutes for a second proving.
- If using the bread-rising setting on your oven, mist with water several times midway through the proving process.
- Bake for 9 minutes in gas oven preheated to 180C.
- (For an electric oven, bake for 13 minutes at 190C)
- They're done.
