Ingredients
Leaven | 40 g |
Rye flour | 450 g |
Water | 330 ml |
Salt | 10 g |
Step cooking
- We take a deep container, put 40 g of sourdough into it and fill in 330 ml of cold water. Sourdough can be prepared at home or bought ready-made. Next, sift 450 g of rye flour into the same container and add 10 g of salt.
- Knead the dough first with a wooden spatula or a tablespoon, and then you can knead it with your hands. Rye dough is different from wheat dough - it does not become very soft and elastic due to its low gluten content. We cover the bowl with the dough with a lid or cling film and leave to approach for 8 hours.
- After that we take out the dough from the bowl and knead again for 1-2 minutes on a board sprinkled with rye flour. We also dust the mold for future bread with flour, after kneading the dough we place it inside the mold and leave for another 1.5 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºС and place the pan in its bottom. Bread is placed either in the form, or we take the dough out of it directly on the baking sheet. Bake at the bottom of the oven for 15 minutes.
- Then we move the baking sheet up the oven so that a delicious crust forms on the bread, and bake another 15 minutes. After this time, we take out the bread from the oven, let it cool and use it for its intended purpose: eat with soups, borsch and other first and second courses; make sandwiches, sandwiches, canapes, crackers, etc.
If you want to give your bread a deeper and more intense flavor, add sunflower seeds, caraway seeds or sesame seeds, Provence herbs, thyme, thyme, paprika and other spices to your dough.
