Nothing says home like homemade bread

There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread coming out of the oven. For this bread I mixed together bread flour and rye flour along with some molasses and caraway seeds to make it sort of a hybrid rye. Crusty on the outside, light and yummy on the inside. It is delicious. Your guests will love this.

This is my hybrid rye bread. Part rye, part white with Everything Bagel Seasoning on top. Really delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rye flour, divided

  • 1 1/4 cups water

  • 3 cups bread flour, divided

  • 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast, divided

  • 2 TB caraway seeds

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 1 TB Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)

  • 1 TB Molasses

  • 1 TB Olive Oil

Directions

  • In stand mixer bowl, combine 1/2 cup rye flour, 1/2 cup bread flour, water and 1/4 tsp yeast. Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise overnight at room temperature.
  • The next day, add the rest of the yeast to the dough mixture. The watery dough mix should start to bubble after a few minutes, as it absorbs the yeast.
  • Mix together the rest of the bread flour and rye flour. Mix in the caraway seeds and add it all to your dough mixture from the night before.
  • Add in the salt, molasses and olive oil.
  • Using dough hook, mix on medium speed until dough is smooth (about 10 minutes).
  • Form the dough into a ball and drizzle it with a little bit of olive oil
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let it double in size. This should take 1- 2 hours.
  • After the dough has doubled, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Gently shape your dough into an oval shape and place in a lightly oiled dutch oven. Put the lid on it and let it rise again as your oven is preheating (about 45 minutes).
  • Once the oven is preheated and your dough has risen, slash the top of the dough diagonally 3 or 4 times with about 2 inches in between each cut. Brush it with olive oil and lightly sprinkle salt and Everything Bagel seasoning over it.
  • Cook for 10 minutes at 375 and then lower temperature to 350. Cook an additional 30 - 40 minutes. Bread is done when it reaches an internal temperature between 180 and 210.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing (at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours).
