Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups rye flour
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1.5 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp instant yeast

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, molasses, caraway seeds, salt, and instant yeast in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add 1.25 cups warm water and stir until a shaggy, wet dough forms — don't overmix.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and let rest 10 minutes until the dough rises slightly and becomes less sticky.

  4. 4

    Turn dough onto a flour-dusted surface, shape into a round loaf, and transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan.

  5. 5

    Bake at 450°F for 12–14 minutes until the crust is deep brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.

  6. 6

    Cool for 2 minutes, slice thick, and serve warm with butter or alongside soup.
