Time 3h

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface, hands, and skewer
1 1/2 cups rye flour
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups well-shaken low-fat buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flours, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Gather mixture into a mound; create a deep well in the center. Pour buttermilk into well. Gradually stir flour mixture into buttermilk with a wooden spoon, starting in center and working outward, until a dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and, with lightly floured hands, form a cohesive ball. (Do not overwork dough.) Pat ball into a 7-inch-wide domed round and transfer to a baking sheet. Across top of round, cut a 1-inch-deep X with a floured knife. Poke holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of dough (about 28 holes total) with a floured wooden skewer.
  • Bake bread 30 minutes. Turn bread upside down; continue baking until cooked through and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 10 minutes more. Transfer loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing and serving. Bread can be made 2 days ahead and stored, whole, at room temperature, in a paper bag or wrapped in parchment.

This bread also freezes well. I like to slice it and freeze it in individual bags. Then, I can just pull out a slice or two whenever I need them.

I'm always looking for healthier bread options, and this rye soda bread fits the bill. It's made with whole wheat flour and rye flour, which are both good sources of fiber. The bread is also low in fat and sugar.

I've tried many rye soda bread recipes, but this one is by far the best. The texture is perfect - dense and chewy, with a slightly crispy crust. The flavor is also spot-on, with a subtle tanginess that really shines through.
