Hot Spring Rye Bread

This hearty and flavorful rye bread is perfect for chilly days. It has a dense texture and a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water and molasses until the molasses is dissolved.
Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Add the salt and caraway seeds to the dough and mix well.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil.
Transfer the risen dough to the greased loaf pan and smooth the top with wet hands.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
