Ingredients

  • 1 envelope 1/4-ounce dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup warm milk about 110 degrees F
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions

  • Combine the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg, and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute.
  • Add the salt, rye flour and all-purpose flour. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl.
  • Using your hands, knead for a couple of more minutes.
  • Roll into a large ball.
  • Roll the dough in the oil and turn it to oil all sides.
  • Place into a lightly bowl.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Take the dough out of the bowl, knead it again for 5 – 10 minutes and place back in the bowl and cover for another hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a baking sheet.
  • Cook for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
