Caraway Rye Bread Recipe
Ready in: > 2 hrs
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)

Ingredients:
1 cup water PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cup white rye, medium rye or pumpernickel flour
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 cup sour cream (low fat is fine)
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten or dough enhancer

Directions:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, rye flour and yeast, mixing to form a shaggy dough. Let the dough rest for 20 min. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix and knead the dough together - by hand, mixer or bread machine - till it's fairly smooth. (Remember, the nature of rye dough is to be sticky, so don't be tempted to add too much flour). Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Gently deflate the dough, knead it briefly, and shape it into two smooth oval loaves. Place the loaves on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise until they're almost doubled, about 1 hour. Gently slash the tops of the loaves in two or three places just before baking. Bake the bread in a preheated 350 F. oven for 35 - 40 min., or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 190 F. to 200 F. Remove the bread from the oven, and allow it to cool on a wire rack.

Rye flour is best in bread. I would make a lot of small loaves and freeze them for up to 6 months. Good eating and even better if toasted
