Techniques
- 360 ml warm water
In the stand mixer bowl (rinsed with warm water on a cold day), add 360 ml warm water at about 110F.
Warm water, honey and yeast
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 packet active dry yeast
Add two tablespoons of honey and one packet of active dry yeast; mix and stand five minutes until foamy, or start over.
- 160 g medium rye flour
- 330 g bread flour
- 15 ml vegetable oil
- 1¾ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp caraway seeds
On a scale add 160 g medium rye flour and 330 g bread flour (bread flour supplies the gluten rye lacks), a tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 3/4 teaspoons of salt and a tablespoon of caraway seeds; mix with a spatula.
Weighing rye and bread flour
Mix with the dough hook on medium-low six to eight minutes until it gathers around the hook; it stays tacky, so do not add flour, wet your hands instead.
Mixing with the dough hook
- 1 tbsp oil
Oil a bowl with a tablespoon or less of oil, form the dough into a ball and turn to coat; cover and rise in a warm place 30 to 45 minutes until doubled.
- flour
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, stretch into a nine-inch square with the bench scraper's help, roll up, pinch the side seams tight and fold them under.
- baking spray
Spray a 9x5 or one-pound loaf pan and line with a parchment sling; place the loaf seam side down.
Oil the top lightly, cover loosely and rise again in a warm place 35 to 45 minutes until it crowns over the rim.
Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes until golden, puffed and hollow when tapped.
