Ingredients
- 12 ounces beer
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 active dry yeast package
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds or anise
- 1 t fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoons orange peel fresh grated or finely chopped candied
- 2-2 1/2 cups rye flour
- 2 ½ - 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon butter to brush final loaf
Instructions
- Heat beer, honey and melted butter until slightly warm, about 110F. Dissolve the yeast in the mixture. Let sit until starting to bubble, about 5 minutes.
- Combine 2 cups of rye flour, 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, the orange peel, salt and spices. Mix until well blended then add in beer mixture. Mix, adding more flour as needed, then knead until dough is very resistant (it should be hard to knead when done).
- Shape into a ball, place in bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise until doubled in bulk—this may take a couple hours (I let it go overnight in my cool winter kitchen). Punch down, shape into a flattened ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Make a few shallow cuts in the top surface of the dough to facilitate expansion.
- Brush with butter, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise until almost doubled,
- 1-2 hours. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 45-60 minutes. Cool on rack before slicing.
