Steps:
- Mix rye flour, bread flour, buttermilk, caraway seeds, vital wheat gluten, and kosher salt together in a very large bowl.
- Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Stir yeast mixture into flour mixture until well mixed and caraway seeds are evenly distributed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 18 hours.
- Transfer dough to a heavily floured work surface. It will be somewhat elongated, so take the right and left sides and fold them into the middle. Turn dough over and gently use a spatula to tuck corners under; cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes. Remove plastic wrap, dust dough with flour, and make shallow cuts in the top for full bloom.
- Place a Dutch oven in the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Carefully place dough in the Dutch oven, cover immediately, reduce oven temperature to 460 degrees F (238 degrees C), and bake until bread is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Carefully transfer bread from the Dutch oven to the oven rack and bake for 5 minutes more.

GERMAN COUNTRY STYLE SOURDOUGH RYE BREAD WITH CARAWAY SEEDS
When I lived in Germany I loved all the different types of breads that were on offer; so many different textures and flavours - lots of them with seeds, onions, cheese and grains. This has to be my all time favourite however - a light and slightly chewy sourdough rye bread with caraway seeds - the very essence of traditional German flavours! This bread has been adapted for the Bread Machine/Maker, and works EXTREMELY well when made this way. However, you can of course make it by hand in the more traditonal manner, as I like to do when I have lots of "bread making time"! This bread makes superb sandwiches and is perfect when served with soups, pates, cold meats, hams, corned beef, cheese and pickles. The "sponge" sourdough starter needs to ferment only overnight, making this a light style sourdough bread. This bread also keeps very well for up to 4 to 5 days.

SOURDOUGH RYE BREAD WITH CARAWAY
This is a strongly flavored rye bread, like from an "old country" bakery. I was forced to experiment and find a recipe when my favorite ethnic bakery closed and I could no longer buy my favorite sourdough rye bread. I hope I've done it justice. Start the day before you want the bread -- the sour flavor develops best if allowed a slow rise in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Mix sourdough starter with warm water with a whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add rye flour a little bit at a time, incorporating well before each addition.
- Add bread flour in the same way, first in the mixing bowl and then turned out on to a floured surface while kneading, until you get a uniformly elastic ball of dough that is tacky but not sticky. This may take about 10 minutes.
- Make a hole into the center of the dough and add the salt and caraway seed, and continue kneading another 5 minutes or so, until the seeds are dispersed throughout the bread dough.
- Coat a bowl with a thin layer of canola oil, add the dough and roll the dough around until all sides are covered with oil. Cover well, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Punch down dough, cut in half and form loaves.
- Leave out on a warm counter, covered, to rise until doubled in size. The length of time will depend on the vigor of your starter, but this may take a few hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, bread will appear lightly browned.
- Cool on racks.
- Freezes well.

BROWN SODA BREAD LOAF WITH CARAWAY SEEDS AND RYE
Some regional variations on Irish soda bread, from Donegal and Leitrim, call for caraway seeds. I love caraway seeds in bread, but in my personal food memory bank they will always be paired with rye. So I decided to add a little rye flour to this already dark brown, grainy and moist bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together flours, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, caraway seeds and sifted baking soda. Mix well with your hands.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk. Working from the center of the bowl in concentric clockwise circles, with fingers outstretched stir buttermilk into flour mixture. (You can use a rubber spatula instead if you don't like getting dough on your hands.) This should take about a half a minute at most. Dough will be quite moist. Use a rubber spatula to scrape into bread pan and smooth out dough to fill the pan evenly (pan will be filled only about halfway.)
- Place in oven and bake 40 minutes, until dark brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

I don't know how authentic this recipe is but I do know it is delicious. You can make it free form on baking sheets but I use loaf pans because it's easier for me to bag it up and freeze.

- Place in an oiled bowl and turn to coat all sides of dough; cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Tips:
- Preparing your Caraway Rye Bread will take about 50 minutes, not counting proving and baking. Remember that you can adjust the proportions of Rye flour and All-purpose flour in this recipe to change how sour your bread tastes.
- Fermentation of the rye flour in water is crucial for the loaf's distinct sour taste. Be sure to properly sterilize and clean your jars and containers to avoid contamination.
- Before shaping the dough, ensure it is well-kneaded and smooth. Firmly shape the dough into a loaf to achieve a neat appearance.
- When shaping your dough into a boule, aim for a tight and round shape for a professional appearance.
- Cover your loaf with a damp cloth and allow it to proof at room temperature during the final rise. Proper proofing will result in a more flavorful and well-developed loaf.
- Rye bread is generally denser and more compact than other types of bread, but it still requires adequate baking time. Be patient and ensure your loaf is cooked thoroughly.
- Slicing the bread immediately after baking can cause tearing, so wait a few hours before slicing. This allows the loaf to firm up and the flavors to develop.
