Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and caraway seeds.
  2. Stir in the sourdough starter, warm water, and honey until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
