Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 cup dark rye flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
Directions
  1. Combine the warm (not hot) water and the yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. Add the rye flour, salt, and apple cider vinegar, and stir. Then add the bread flour ½ cup at a time until it is blended. Knead in the bowl for 5 minutes or use the dough hook in a stand mixer for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the oil and knead for 10 minutes. Then add the caraway seeds and knead them in for about 1 minute.
  4. Put the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a tea towel or saran wrap. Let it sit in a warm spot for 1 hour and it will double in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  6. Lay the dough on a board and separate into 3 equal sections. Roll each section out with your hands into a 2-inch thick roll and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover the tray with a tea towel and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
