An old-fashioned sourdough rye bread from my grandmother's 90 year old neighbor! Let the starter rise overnight and make the bread the next day.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups water
4 cups rye flour
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
8 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • The night before making the bread, in a medium sized mixing bowl, dissolve one packet of yeast and the sugar in 2 cups of water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rye flour until the mixture is smooth. Cover and let stand overnight.
  • The next day, dissolve the remaining package of yeast in the buttermilk. Add the rye flour mixture, the baking soda, the salt, 4 cups of the bread flour and stir to combine. Add the remaining 4 cups of bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition (you may not need to add all of the flour). When the dough has become a smooth and coherent mass, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the caraway seeds on the dough and knead them in until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Lightly oil a large mixing bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the volume has doubled.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into three pieces. Form each piece into a loaf and place in 3 lightly greased 9x5 inch bread pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 35 minutes or until the bottom of the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

This bread is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This recipe is too complicated. I don't have the time or patience to make this bread.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bread is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try using less sourdough starter next time.

This Polish sourdough rye bread is phenomenal! The crust is perfectly crisp, the crumb is moist and flavorful, and the overall taste is out of this world. I've been baking bread for years, and this is by far the best rye bread I've ever made. Thank y
