Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, molasses, caraway seeds, yeast, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Add warm water and stir until a thick, shaggy dough forms. Do not knead; the dough will be sticky.
Step 3
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled loaf pan, smooth the top, and brush with a little water.
Step 4
Bake for 12–14 minutes until the top is dark brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 5
Let cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Step 6
Slice warm or at room temperature. Serve with butter or alongside soup.
