Lighter than normal rye - still as tasty!

Method

  1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Add the tepid water and knead to a well-combined dough for about 3-5 mins.
  3. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and leave to rise ('prove') in a warm place for approx. 40 mins. or until double in size
  4. Knead the dough again and place in a 2lb (26cm) loaf tin. Score the top with a sharp knife. Cover with tea towel and leave to rise again for 20 mins. Preheat oven to 200°C fan.
  5. Dampen the top of the bread with water and sprinkle with seeds of your choice.
  6. Bake in bottom of oven at 200°C for 10 mins. Then turn down the temperature to 180°C and bake for a further 40 mins. Bread should sound hollow when you tap on the bottom.
  7. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
