Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, molasses, caraway seeds, salt, and instant yeast in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1.25 cups warm water and stir until a shaggy, wet dough forms — don't overmix.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the bowl and let rest 10 minutes until the dough rises slightly and becomes less sticky.

  4. Step 4

    Turn dough onto a flour-dusted surface, shape into a round loaf, and transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 450°F for 12–14 minutes until the crust is deep brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 2 minutes, slice thick, and serve warm with butter or alongside soup.
