Directions:

  1. Place wholewheat flour, rye flour, rolled rye, salt and caraway seeds (if used) in a bowl. Make a well in center.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the well.
  3. Mix all ingredients initially with a wooden spoon, until roughly mixed.
  4. If mixture seems too dry, add a little more water/beer.
  5. Kneed the mixture for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour from time to time if the mixture is too sticky.
  6. Form dough into a ball, and cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a damp teatowel.
  7. Leave to prove for 2 hours.
  8. After 2 hours, preheat oven to 200°C.
  9. Take the cover off the mixing bowl. Punch the dough down in the center.
  10. Lightly oil a baking tray or loaf tin and dust with flour.
  11. Shape dough into desired form (e.g. freeform oblong shape, or in square loaf tin, etc).
  12. Leave alone until nearly doubled in size.
  13. Place in hot oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how crusty you like it.
  14. The loaf should be cooked when it gives a hollow sound when tapped.
  15. Allow to cool before serving - it is usually better the day after baking.
  16. Enjoy!
