This homemade rye bread batter recipe is perfect for those who love the rich, earthy flavor of rye bread. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you can enjoy fresh and warm rye bread right from your oven. It's a great addition to any meal or a tasty snack on its own.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rye bread batter for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  7. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
  8. Enjoy your homemade rye bread batter with butter, cheese, or your favorite toppings.
