Rye Bread
Have you tried rye breads?
2 cups water, warm
1 tbsp oil
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp active dry yeast
4-1/2 cups rye flour
Add water to oil and salt. Add yeast and dissolve. Add rye flour, just enough to make a firm dough and then cover and let rise. Punch down and knead until dough becomes springy (10 minutes). Shape into loaves, cover and let rise again. Bake 300° F for 1-1/2 hours with pan of water below loaves.
I brush the loaves with egg white just before baking. Oh, and you can add 2 tbsp cocoa to the above recipe if you like. Or 2 tbsp caraway seeds and leave out the chocolate.
Rye is a different flour, very sticky but the bread is YUM!!
