Raisin Rye Bread
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 1/2 cups dark rye flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups cool (60) water
- 1 cup golden raisins
- In a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine both flours, the salt and the yeast.
- Turn the machine to medium low, add the water and mix until the flour is moistened, about 2 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Increase the speed to medium and knead until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes longer.
- Add the raisins and knead just until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and form into a ball.
- Set the dough in a well-floured bowl, cover with plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 and spray a 9-inch, enameled cast-iron casserole with vegetable cooking spray.
- Turn the dough out into the casserole.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until the dough is doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Remove the plastic.
- Dust the top of the dough with all-purpose flour.
- Using a razor blade or sharp knife, make a shallow X in the top of the dough.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, until the loaf is risen, lightly golden on top and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 200.
- Tip the bread out onto a wire rack.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
