GERMAN DARK RYE BREAD



German Dark Rye Bread image

This is one of 2 rye bread recipes I posted in answer to a request for a "marbled rye" bread. My suggestion for making the "marbled rye" is to knead the dark rye dough together with a "light" rye dough (Recipe # 43286), before shaping the loaves. (Of course that will make 4 loaves, since each recipe makes 2 loaves).This recipe makes a wonderful dark rye bread! (90 minute prep time includes rising time).

GERMAN RYE BREAD

AUTHENTIC GERMAN BREAD (BAUERNBROT)



Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot) image

Here is a great recipe for authentic German Sourdough Bread. This bread tastes almost exactly like the bread we buy back home in Bavaria, Germany. There, to this day, they bake their bread in a very old stone oven in the middle of a small village, once every 2 weeks. They bake a whole bunch at once, and then you can buy it and freeze extras until the next baking day. It's the best German bread I know!

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Breakfast Bread Recipes

Time P2DT5h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ ounces compressed fresh yeast
1 quart warm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
8 cups white rye flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups warm water

Steps:

  • First, make the sourdough starter. Crumble the yeast into a large bowl. Whisk in 1 quart of warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. The water should be just slightly warmer than body temperature. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of flour, continuing to mix until all lumps are gone. Cover with a dish towel, and let sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
  • After 24 hours, stir well, cover, and let stand another 24 hours. It will be a thin, light-colored sourdough which is then ready to use.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the rye flour, remaining 4 cups of all-purpose flour, salt and sugar. Mix in the sourdough starter using a wooden spoon, then stir in 2 cups of warm water. I transfer the dough to a heavy-duty stand mixer to mix the first couple of minutes, then it can't handle the heavy dough and I start using my hands by turning the dough out onto a floured surface. A clean countertop works best. Knead the dough, adding a few tablespoons of water at a time if it is too stiff. Fold the dough over, pull it apart, whatever you can do to get it kneaded up good. Total kneading time should be 15 to 20 minutes to get a smooth dough. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
  • When the dough has risen, scrape it out of the bowl and back onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes. This is important to activate the gluten. Shape into 1 or 2 long loaves. Place on baking sheets, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the bread gently.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake the bread for about 45 minutes for 2 loaves, 1 1/2 hours if you made one big loaf. Don't worry if the crust is dark. The bread will be delicious and so will the crust. Cool completely before cutting. I always freeze half.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this bread by hand. Just follow the instructions in the recipe and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the bread dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread according to the instructions in your bread machine or oven.
  • Once the bread is done baking, let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

German Dark Rye Bread is a delicious and hearty bread that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this bread is sure to be a hit. With its slightly sweet and tangy flavor, this bread is sure to please everyone at your table.
