Step 1
Mix rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seeds, yeast, and salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Pour warm water into the dry mix and stir until shaggy, wet dough forms; don't knead.

Press dough into a parchment-lined 8-inch round cake pan, smoothing the top.
Step 4
Cover with a damp towel and let rise 10 minutes until slightly puffed.
Step 5
Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until the top is dark brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
