Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole grain rye flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
  3. Add the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the dough comes together.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan.
  8. Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
