Step 1
Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, molasses, caraway seeds, salt, and instant yeast in a bowl.
Step 2
Add 1.25 cups warm water and stir until a shaggy, wet dough forms — don't overmix.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let rest 10 minutes until the dough rises slightly and becomes less sticky.
Step 4
Turn dough onto a flour-dusted surface, shape into a round loaf, and transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 5
Bake at 450°F for 12–14 minutes until the crust is deep brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.
Step 6
Cool for 2 minutes, slice thick, and serve warm with butter or alongside soup.
