Hearty Sour Rye Bread
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons warm water (100u0b0 to 110u0b0)
- 1 1/4 cups plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 1/4 cups bread flour, divided
- 1 1/4 cups stone-ground rye flour (such as Bob's Red Mill)
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cover and cook 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; cool completely.
- Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Add egg; stir well with a whisk.
- Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Add 2 cups bread flour and rye flour to yeast mixture, 1 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Stir in chopped onion. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u0b0), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
- With floured hands, knead dough 5 times. Shape into a round 7-inch loaf. Place loaf on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Make 3 diagonal cuts 1/4-inch deep across top of loaf using a sharp knife.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Combine 1 tablespoon water and egg yolk; gently brush over dough. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake at 350u0b0 for 35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
