Provided by LuAnn_Mason

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon anise seed
1 teaspoon ground or crushed cardamom
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 large orange, juice and zest of
1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup sour milk
2/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons saf instant yeast
2 1/2 cups medium rye flour
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dough enhancer

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, orange peel, buttermilk, molasses and margarine in microwave safe container and microwave until hot, approximately 2 minutes or until it reaches about 120 degrees. Margarine need not melt completely, and mixture will look curdled and pretty unappetizing. That's okay.
  • In large mixer bowl, combine rye and all purpose flours, salt, seeds, dough enhancer, salt and yeast. Pour in hot liquid and combine. Knead by hand or by machine until smooth and elastic, approximately ten minutes.
  • Grease and let rise in covered bowl until doubled in bulk, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This dough is very dense and takes awhile to rise. Punch down and allow to rise a second time, 45 to 60 minutes. Shape into rolls, loaf pans, or free form loaves.
  • Preheat oven to 375 and allow dough to rise 30 to 45 minutes, depending on size of loaf. Rolls will rise in 25-30 minutes, loaves will take longer.
  • Bake at 375 for 30 minutes for rolls, or 45-50 minutes for loaves.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water temperature is between 105°F and 115°F (41°C and 46°C) and activate the yeast for at least 5 minutes before using.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This allows the ingredients to combine more evenly and results in a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense, chewy bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This helps the dough to rise properly and develop its flavor.
  • Bake the bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C): This ensures that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This helps to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This sweet rye bread recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly sweet flavor and chewy texture, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a beginner baker or an experienced one, this recipe is sure to be a success.
