Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp fresh yeast
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 cup + 4 Tbsp warm water ( 264 grams )
  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp rye flour to form a dough

Instructions

  1. Combine 5 Tbsp of warm water from total quantity and combine, in a mug,  with yeast, honey and  1 Tbsp of rye flour. Leave to rise for 10minutes.

  2. Combine water with salt, in another mug so the salt dissolves.

  3. Prepare sheet baking dish and cover it with baking paper. Leave aside.

  4. On a flat, clean surface, combine, using one hand ( I suggest non dominant one )and combine flour and  yeast . Slowly add water, little by little.

  5. You will have to gather the dough with spatula, using your dominant hand since the dough you'll get is quite sticky.

  6. Use 3 Tbsp of flour to gather the dough together and form a ball.

  7. Transfer it on the baking paper, for a rounded dough, cover with tea towel and leave to rise for 60 minutes.

  8. Preheat the oven to 200 C / 392 F.

  9. Rise the dough for another 10 minutes. It takes that long for oven to get the required temperature

  10. Sprinkle the dough with flour, score the surface and bake for 27 minutes.

  11. Take out from the oven, cool completely and enjoy.
