Ingredients

  • Ferment:
  • 2.5 dl light warm water
  • 2.5 g yeast
  • 2.5 dl rye flour
  • 48 hours later
  • 25 g yeast
  • 7 dl light warm water
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • ca 2.5 l (ca 1.3 kg) rye flour or a mixture of wheat and rye flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar

Directions

1

1. Measure the ferment flour into a bowl, add the water, mix well and leave covered with cling film in a warm, draught-free place to ferment.

2

2. On the third day crumble 25 g yeast into a large bowl, add a little water and sugar and mix until it is dissolves.

3

3. Now add the rest of the water, oil, ferment and salt, and then about 2 l of the flour.

4

4. Knead, adding flour, so that the dough will not stick to the bowl or your hands.

5

5. Sprinkle the dough with flour, cover it, and leave to rise in a warm place for 50-60 minutes.

6

6. Outturn the dough onto a table sprinkled with flour, and gradually knead in the remaining flour, until the dough no longer sticks to the table.

7

7. Mould the dough into two smooth loaves, place them on baking sheet covered with a greaseproof paper, and cover them with a tea-towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 - 40 minutes.

8

8. Prepare oven to 175 °C, brush loaves with lukewarm water or milk, bake on the lower shelf for 50 - 60 min.

9

9. You can find out whether the bread is ready by the following method: take the loaf out of the oven, turn upside down and tap a few times; if you hear a hollow sound, it is ready, if the sound is muffled, it should be placed back into the oven.

10

Cool on a rack under the tea-towel and serve.
