Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix rye, all-purpose, and whole wheat flours with caraway seeds in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in molasses, yeast, salt, and 1 cup warm water until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Shape the dough into a round loaf on a floured surface. Dust the top with rye flour.

  5. Step 5

    Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 25 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.

  6. Step 6

    Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm with butter or as a side.
