Ingredients

Scaled 3

  • 3 t / 9 g yeast
  • 450 g rye flour
  • 1050 g strong white flour

It took me a couple of tries to get close to this and a chat with a Polish baker I bumped into. It is very common in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I think it traditionally had some boiled potato in it as well. I think it is the best bread for liver pate (liverwurst) or ham or salmon & cream cheese.

Method

I make this in a bread maker, so I add the ingredients in the listed order, then set on the whole wheat bake setting for the medium sized loaf (which is actually considered large).

If you aren't using a bread-maker, I assume you would:

  1. mix the yeast, sugar and warm water together
  2. mix the dry ingredients together
  3. slowly add the wet to the dry
  4. when it forms a ball, kneed for 8 minutes
  5. put in oiled bowl with towel on top to proof for approx 1 hour or double in size
  6. kneed again for 5 min
  7. shape into loaf on a tray, or in a greased loaf pan
  8. cover and let rise for approximately one hour
  9. bake in 180C oven for 45 min or so... check by thumping and getting hollow sound.
