I shared the recipe I use for rye bread with my mom who tweaked it into a sweet rye bread. Then I took her sweet rye bread recipe and tweaked it for more rise. And then I made loaves as house warming presents for my three sweet new neighbors. I wrapped them in paper with a welcome note and my contact information and tied it up with twine. Adorable.
3 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cupe applesauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup rye flour
5 1/2 cups white flour
5 oz of dried cranberries
Mix yeast and liquid ingredients. Add sugar, flour and salt. Add cranberries. Cover and let rise for 2 hours. Dust with flour and divide into 4 loaves. Shape each grapefruit sized portion into a ball and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Let rise for another hour. Bake in oven with a ramekin of water at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Use a stick of butter and coat the loaf when you pull it from the oven. Let cool on a wire rack. And for goodness sake, dive right into a fresh warm loaf. I can never wait until it's completely cool.
