  • Start mixing the dough while adding the remaining water.The dough needs to be a little wet and sticky, this will help the bread to rise and come out with a soft texture.
  • Cover and leave the dough to rise for 1 hour.
  • Punch the dough down and spread it out on a clean surface and add the rye flour to the dough.

  • Pre head a oven at 220 deg C(fan forced) with another tin that has 2 cups of water(this will help the bread get a good crust)
  • Bake at 220 deg C for 15-20 mins.
  • Check the readiness, by knocking on the top of the bread, if it sounds hollow then it is ready.

Notes

Allowing the bread to rise a in proofing basket and cooking in a hot dutch oven(covered) will give a more moist bread.
