Seeded Rye Bread Recipes

SEEDED RYE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, place the rye flour, white flour, yeast, salt, water, linseeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.
• Mix together with your hands until it becomes a soft, pliable dough.
• Place the dough on to a lightly floured, flat surface and knead for five minutes.
• Return the dough to the bowl and leave to rise for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Shape the dough into a loaf, and roll the loaf in porridge oats.
• With a sharp knife, cut a line down the centre of the loaf. Place the loaf on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

CARAWAY SEED RYE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add brown sugar, caraway, oil, salt and remaining water; mix well. Stir in rye flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down; divide in half. Shape each half into a ball; place in 2 greased 8-in. round baking pans or ovenproof skillets. Flatten balls to a 6-in. diameter. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

SEEDED MARBLE RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Light Rye:Combine water and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in molasses and salt until dissolved. Add both flours, caraway seeds, and oil, stirring until a ragged dough forms. (Dough should be soft and tacky but not sticky -- add more bread flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough is too wet; or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if too dry.) Transfer to a clean work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Dark Rye:Repeat process for light rye, adding cocoa powder to yeast mixture along with flours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Punch down doughs and transfer to a clean work surface. Roll out each to an approximately 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Place darker dough on top of lighter dough. Starting at one short end, roll up doughs into a log. Pinch ends and seam together to seal. Gently roll back and forth with palms, applying more pressure toward edges, to shape into an approximately 13-inch-long torpedo (an Italian-baguette shape). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make three 1/2-inch-deep diagonal slashes evenly across top of dough. Whisk egg white with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle generously with caraway seeds.
• Transfer dough on sheet to oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake until puffed and golden brown, and a thermometer inserted in center registers 200 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

REAL NY JEWISH RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Place bread flour, rye flour, potato flakes, caraway seeds, demarara sugar, yeast, and sea salt in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Turn mixer to low and thoroughly mix dry ingredients. Beat warm water, canola oil, and pickle juice into dry ingredients. Fit dough hook onto mixer and beat until dough is rough and shaggy-looking.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for exactly 30 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and knead dough in stand mixer with dough hook until smooth, firm, and only slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Form dough into a ball, place dough into an oiled bowl, and turn dough around several times in bowl to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set into a warm place, and let rise until nearly double, about 1 hour.
• Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Turn dough onto a lightly oiled surface, shape into a log, and place into prepared loaf pan. Cover with a cloth kitchen towel and let rise until top of dough has risen slightly over top of pan, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Place rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake loaf until golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes. The internal temperature of the bread should be 190 degrees F (90 degrees C). If loaf browns too quickly, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil with shiny side out. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
