2 cups of rye flour

what to do

In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients. In a medium sized bowl mix together the wet ingredients and then add to the dry flour mixture. Mix until combined and then cover with a damp tea towel and let rise for 20 - 30 mins, depending on room temperature.

When the dough has doubled in size, deflate the dough with a wooden spoon and transfer the mixture into a greased bread pan and allow to rise again for 20 minutes. While the dough is rising again, preheat your oven to 200°C.

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden brown and nice and firm on the outside. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy with your favourite toppings for a delicious breakfast.
