Rye Bread Recipe

I love the taste of rye bread. One of my favorite sandwitches is roast beef, muenster cheese, and mustard on toasted rye bread. Here is a recipe for rye bread:

1 cup rye flour (may use whole grain)
3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 packet yeast
3 tbsp melted butter
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1- 1 1/2 tsp caraway seed

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and bring together to form a soft but workable dought (no sticky, and not stiff). If it is too dry add more water. Knead for 1 min. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl in a warm place for 2 hrs, then fold over itself to make a ball. Let it rise for 1 1/2 hrs more. No you can shape the dough into a free form loaf or put it in a loaf pan. I like free form. To make a round free form loaf (called a boule), simple form the dough into a tight ball by bringing all the edges together and squeezing them tight so the dough is round and smott ontop. Let the dough rise seam side down on a baking pan dusted with corn meal until it has doubled in bulk. Score the top and bake in a steam filled oven at 400 degrees for 30-35 min. enjoy!
