Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups rye flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • ½ tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, molasses, caraway seeds, yeast, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add warm water and stir until a thick, shaggy dough forms. Do not knead; the dough will be sticky.

  3. 3

    Transfer dough to a lightly oiled loaf pan, smooth the top, and brush with a little water.

  4. 4

    Bake for 12–14 minutes until the top is dark brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Let cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

  6. 6

    Slice warm or at room temperature. Serve with butter or alongside soup.
