Steps:
- Place bread flour, rye flour, potato flakes, caraway seeds, demarara sugar, yeast, and sea salt in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Turn mixer to low and thoroughly mix dry ingredients. Beat warm water, canola oil, and pickle juice into dry ingredients. Fit dough hook onto mixer and beat until dough is rough and shaggy-looking.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for exactly 30 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and knead dough in stand mixer with dough hook until smooth, firm, and only slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Form dough into a ball, place dough into an oiled bowl, and turn dough around several times in bowl to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set into a warm place, and let rise until nearly double, about 1 hour.
- Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Turn dough onto a lightly oiled surface, shape into a log, and place into prepared loaf pan. Cover with a cloth kitchen towel and let rise until top of dough has risen slightly over top of pan, 60 to 90 minutes.
- Place rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake loaf until golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes. The internal temperature of the bread should be 190 degrees F (90 degrees C). If loaf browns too quickly, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil with shiny side out. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

LIGHT RYE BREAD
A light and moist bread, a good change from pumpernickel. This recipe is from my old stand by cookbook by Fannie Farmer. The recipe called for milk but I had buttermilk that I needed to use and it came out wonderful so you can use either one, I think you will have a better rye taste with milk, This is a very sticky dough to work with, keep your hands floured and be patient. I mixed this by hand but I'm sure you can use your large mixer.

LIGHT (SEEDLESS) RYE BREAD
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 (Recipe # 43285) together with a light rye dough, before shaping the loaves. (Of course that will make 4 loaves, since each recipe makes 2 loaves).This recipe makes a delicious light (seedless) rye bread! (110 minute prep time includes rising time).

NEW YORK DELI-STYLE RYE BREAD
American "deli rye" is descended from traditional breads in Middle and Eastern Europe, where rye and wheat grow together and "bread spice" (a combination of caraway, coriander, anise and fennel seeds) is common. This kind of rye bread spread across the United States in the 20th century along with Jewish delicatessens, where it served as the perfect foil for rich fillings like pastrami and chopped liver -- not to mention tuna melts. The sour tang and chewy texture of the original breads have largely been lost over time, because rye bread today is made mostly from wheat flour and just a scant amount of rye. This recipe restores some of the original charm, but is still quick and easy for home baking.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, whisk together the flours, caraway seeds (if using), salt and yeast. Put 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water into a small bowl, then stir in the honey and oil.
- Using a dough hook attachment at low speed, gradually pour in the liquid mixture. Mix just until a cohesive dough starts to form and no streaks of dry flour remain, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl halfway through. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rest for 20 minutes.
- Turn mixer to medium-low and knead until smooth and elastic, easily clearing the sides of the bowl, about 8 minutes. The dough should be moist but not sticky; if needed, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly oil a medium-size mixing bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead 30 seconds, shaping dough into a smooth round ball. Place seam side down in the oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Stack 2 rimmed baking sheets and line the top sheet with aluminum foil. Punch the dough down to deflate. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Press and stretch into a rough 6-inch square.
- Lift and fold top 2 corners of dough into the center of the square and press gently to seal. Lift and fold down the upper third of the dough toward the center and press gently to seal. Lift and fold down the top half of the dough to form a loaf, and pinch the seam closed. Turn the loaf seam side down, gently slide hands underneath, and transfer to the prepared pan. You should have an oval loaf about 8 inches by 4 inches; use hands to shape as needed. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise until loaf increases in size by about half, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, place a rack in the lower third of oven and heat to 450 degrees. When the dough has risen, make 3 deep slashes across the top, using a sharp paring knife or razor blade. Place in oven, reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake until deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating pan once during baking.
- Meanwhile, dissolve cornstarch in 1 cup cold water. Simmer in saucepan or microwave until clear and syrupy. Transfer hot, baked bread immediately to a wire rack and brush top and sides with cornstarch mixture until glazed and shiny. Let cool completely before slicing.
Tips:
- Use warm water: Warm water helps activate the yeast and allows it to work more effectively. This will result in a better rise and a lighter, fluffier bread.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which is responsible for the bread's texture and structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This can be done in a warm oven, on a heating pad, or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature will create a crispy crust and a light, fluffy interior.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Slicing the bread while it is still warm will cause it to crumble. Let the bread cool completely before slicing it.
Conclusion:
This light seedless rye bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its light texture and slightly tangy flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
