Best 2 Marble Rye Bread Recipes

MARBLE RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except color either by hand or a stand mixer. Knead until smooth and gluten has developed, add in water of flour as needed. Dough will be soft and sticky, as this is how rye dough feels It makes a tacky dough, not like white! This takes about 7'10 minutes. Put dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and let rise until it is puffy, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove, divide in half. Knead the color into one half. Roll each half into a 8x11 inch rectangle. Put one on top of the other, I put the lighter one on the bottom so the lighter color is the outside of the finished loaf. You, of course can decide for yourself! Roll into a loaf, jelly roll style, starting with the 8' side, tuck ends inches.
• You can either make a free form loaf and put on a parchment lined sheet pan or use a large lightly oiled bread pan. In either case, cover with a damp towel or a piece of lightly spayed cling film. Let rise until doubled, approximately 1-11/2. In the meantime preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the bread in, bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until it has an internal temperature of 190 F, or sounds hollow when tapped. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
• You can easily omit the dry milk, it is only there for nutrition and it makes for a more tender crumb. Also, the coffee is only to darken one half, so you get the different colors. You can't taste it! Some recipes call for cocoa,which I think you can taste, others for caramel coloring. I simply think instant coffee is easier.

SEEDED MARBLE RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Light Rye:Combine water and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in molasses and salt until dissolved. Add both flours, caraway seeds, and oil, stirring until a ragged dough forms. (Dough should be soft and tacky but not sticky -- add more bread flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough is too wet; or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if too dry.) Transfer to a clean work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Dark Rye:Repeat process for light rye, adding cocoa powder to yeast mixture along with flours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Punch down doughs and transfer to a clean work surface. Roll out each to an approximately 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Place darker dough on top of lighter dough. Starting at one short end, roll up doughs into a log. Pinch ends and seam together to seal. Gently roll back and forth with palms, applying more pressure toward edges, to shape into an approximately 13-inch-long torpedo (an Italian-baguette shape). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Loosely cover and let rise until doubled in volume, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make three 1/2-inch-deep diagonal slashes evenly across top of dough. Whisk egg white with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle generously with caraway seeds.
• Transfer dough on sheet to oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake until puffed and golden brown, and a thermometer inserted in center registers 200 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
