Are you looking for an alternative to white bread? This rye bread has a darker colour and richer taste than your average white loaf. Sliced, it is perfect for open sandwiches and healthy canapés.

Ingredients

For the starter:

white wheat flour

2 tbs

sugar

1 pinch

fresh yeast

20 g

salt

1 pinch

lukewarm water

100 ml

For the dough:

salt

1 tsp

olive oil

1 tbs

rye flour

250 g

lukewarm water

300 ml

whole wheat flour

250 g

Preparation

Prepare the starter. Add crumbled yeast, flour, sugar and salt into 1 dl of lukewarm water to obtain a smooth mixture. Let rise for approximately 5 minutes.
Prepare the dough. Add the starter to flour, add oil and salt. During kneading, add lukewarm water.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with a cotton towel and let it rise for approximately 30-40 minutes (until the bread has doubled in volume).
Knead the dough one more time, form a loaf and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover the bread with a cotton towel and let it rise for another 20-30 min.
Before baking, score the bread with 4 diagonal cuts to prevent it from cracking.
After baking remove the bread from the oven, and cool before slicing.
