3 1/2 c Rye flour
3 c Warm water, flat beer
Buttermilk or potato water
1/4 c Warm water (100-105o)
3 1/2 c Or 4c all purpose flour
1 Egg lightly beaten with
1 tb Water
1 pk Dry yeast
2 tb Salt
four days ahead of bread making, prepare the starter: combine 1 cup
rye flour with 1 cup liquid, cover loosely and set in a warm place.
Stir once or twice each day, adding more liquid if the mixture
becomes too dry. it should bubble and give off a strong odor.
when ready to prepare the dough, put the starter in a large mixing
bowl, add 2 more cups of whatever liquid was used and stir. Dissolve
the yeast and salt in 1/4 cup warm water and stir in. Then beat in
the remaining rye flour and up to 4 cups of the white flour one cup
at a time to make a somewhat soft biscuit like dough firm enough to
hold it’s shape. It should not be too sticky. turn out on a lightly
floured board and knead until smooth and velvety, about 10- 12
minutes. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape into balls.
Place in two buttered bowls, turning to coat the dough with the
butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk,
about 1 1/2 hours. Place on a buttered baking sheet, cover and let
rise again until doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes. Bake in a
preheated 400o oven about 45 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow
when tapped with the knuckles. Ten minutes before the loaves are
done, brush the tops with the egg wash. cool, covered with towels to
prevent the crust from hardening.
