HONEY MOLASSES LIGHT RYE BREAD FOR A KITCHENAID



Honey Molasses Light Rye Bread For A KitchenAid image

This is a wonderful recipe for an everyday rye sandwich bread. The crumb is perfect. It's not too heavy and not too airy. It's just right. Slices into nice, even, thin slices ideal for sandwiches or toast. After it cools to the touch, I wrap loosely in aluminum foil, with the bread's ends exposed. When fully cool, slice and bag....

Categories     Other Breads

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup light molasses
2 tsp. salt
2 tb. butter
2 tb. caraway (optional)
1 cup boiling water
2 packets active dry yeast (i always use red star quick rise yeast.)
3/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
2 cups rye flour (i used hodgson mill whole grain 100% stone ground rye) whole grains provide a smaller rise, but add a nutty flavor and nice texture.
3 1/2-4 cups ap flour

Steps:

  • 1. Place honey, molasses, salt, butter, caraway, (if using) and boiling water in small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
  • 2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm honey mixture, rye flour and 1 cup AP flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl, if necessary. (Never go above speed 2 when making bread dough.)
  • 3. Continue on speed 2, adding remaining AP flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl or about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer. **From KitchenAid: "Some doughs may occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that the dough is sticky and more flour should be added."
  • 4. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with sprayed saran wrap. Let rise in warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
  • 5. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover. Let rise in warm place free from drafts, 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (Mine didn't take this long.) Cover loaves with aluminum foil if they are browning to quickly. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool completely on wire racks. Brush tops with melted butter. *See my hint at top about cooling when just warm to the touch in loose foil. It retains moisture.

MOLASSES RYE BREAD

This is one of our favorite rye breads. A very good moist rye bread with a slight molasses taste, and is ideal for many sandwiches. It can be made with or without the caraway seeds. It can also be made in regular loaf pans, or as rounds.

Time 3h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 packages active dry yeast
2-1/4 cups of warm water, hot to the touch from the tap
2/3 cup molasses (not black strap)
3 cups bread flour
4 cups rye flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder

  • 4. Using a wooden spoon, stir in all the rye flour, 2 cups at a time. Remove the dough from the bowl out onto a lightly floured counter top or table.

  • 5. Place the dough in the greased bowl; flip the dough over so greased side is up. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap; don't tighten it down, just lay it over the bowl loosely.

  • 6. Cut dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf or rounds. Place dough into either oiled bread loaf pans, or onto a flat baking sheet that has been greased and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover dough with a cloth. Let rise again about 45 minutes. The dough should be peeking over the top of the loaf pan.
  • 7. Preheat oven to 350°F for at least half an hour before baking.
  • 8. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove bread from oven and pan. Cool on a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Categories     Breakfast     Bread     Beer     Molasses     Bake     snack     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Dairy Free     Fat Free     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian     Vegan

Yield Makes 1 round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1⅓ cups (170 g) dark rye flour
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
¾ cup dark beer (such as stout or porter)
2 cups plus 3 Tbsp. (270 g) bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 Tbsp. mild-flavored (light) molasses
½ tsp. instant yeast
2-3 Tbsp. rice flour (optional)
Special equipment
A bench scraper (optional), an 8"-diameter proofing basket, a lame (optional), and a 4½-qt. Dutch oven with lid

Steps:

  • The evening before you want to bake your bread, mix rye flour, salt, beer, 2 cups plus 3 Tbsp. (270 g) bread flour, and ½ cup cold water (65°F-70°F) in the bowl of a stand mixer until a wet, sticky dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 20 minutes. (Resting here allows the flour to hydrate and promotes elasticity and gluten development in the dough.)
  • Fit bowl with dough on stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Add molasses and yeast and mix on low speed to combine, 1-2 minutes. Increase speed to medium and mix 2 minutes to develop the dough. (Alternatively, you can mix by hand in a medium bowl with a sturdy rubber spatula or dough whisk.) If dough seems dry, add 1-2 Tbsps water.
  • Transfer dough to a clean medium bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature overnight (12 hours).
  • The following day, transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently flatten into a rough square, then bring all 4 corners to the center and pinch together with your fingers. Turn dough over and, using a bench scraper or your hand, push edges of dough under loaf toward the center while rotating to create tension across the top to shape into a ball. Using your hands and dusting with flour as needed, gently rotate ball against surface to tighten further and seal bottom. Generously flour proofing basket with rice or bread flour and invert dough into basket so seam side is up. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit until dough no longer springs back when poked with your finger, 2-3 hours.
  • About 30 minutes before baking bread, place a rack in middle of oven and set Dutch oven with lid on it. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Cut a round of parchment paper a few inches wider in diameter than the ball of dough. Invert proofing basket onto parchment to release dough (dust off excess flour if desired). Using a lame or a sharp paring knife, cut a crosshatch pattern about ½" deep on surface of dough. These cuts will serve as steam-release vents when the bread expands in the oven.
  • Using oven mitts, place preheated (very hot!) Dutch oven on a heat-resistant surface and remove lid. Using parchment paper as handles, carefully place dough inside Dutch oven. Cover and bake 30 minutes. (Covering helps retain enough steam inside the pot to allow the surface of the bread to remain supple and expand.)
  • Remove lid and continue to bake bread until crust is a dark mahogany brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 200°F, 15-20 minutes (removing the lid allows the bread's exterior to caramelize and bake into a chewy crust). Using oven mitts, carefully remove pot from oven. Gently invert bread onto a wire rack and let cool before slicing.

OLD-WORLD RYE BREAD



Old-World Rye Bread image

Rye and caraway give this bread wonderful flavor, while the surprise ingredient of baking cocoa adds to the rich, dark color. I sometimes stir in a cup each of raisins and walnuts. -Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington

Cornmeal

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate properly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. Look for high-quality rye flour, molasses, and beer.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture. 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 a warm place to rise in order to double in size. You can let it rise in a warm oven or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • Don't over-proof the dough: If the dough rises for too long, it will start to collapse and the bread will be dense and heavy. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, but not longer.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a light, airy interior.

Conclusion:

This rye and molasses bread with beer is a delicious and hearty bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The bread is also a good source of fiber and other nutrients. So, next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy bread recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
