12. *RAW EGG WARNING
13. Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
14. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

17. Add the salt, rye flour and all-purpose flour.
18. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute.
19. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook.
20. Remove the dough from the bowl.
21. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball.
22. Lightly oil a bowl.
23. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides.
