    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1                cup  lukewarm water
    1           teaspoon  sugar
    1         tablespoon  instant yeast -- (not rapid rise)
    1 1/2           cups  buttermilk -- at room temperature
       1/4           cup  butter -- (1/2 stick), melted
    2          teaspoons  salt
    2               cups  rye flour
    6               cups  all-purpose flour

It's the buttermilk in this recipe for Polish Buttermilk Rye Bread 
that gives it the tang usually associated with rye breads.   It takes 
the labor and time out of creating a sour starter.

In a large bowl or bowl or a stand mixer, add all ingredients and mix 
well. Knead on low 7 min in mixer or 10 min by hand.

Transfer to a large greased bowl. Flip the dough to grease the bottom 
and cover with oiled plastic. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.

Heat oven to 400F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. 
Punch down dough and form into 2 oblong or round loaves. Place on 
prepared pan, cover with oiled plastic and let rise until almost doubled.

Brush risen dough with egg whites for a shiny crust or plain water. 
Make 4 diagonal shallow cuts (use a lame or razor blade) in the dough 
and bake 25-30 min or until internal temperature on an instant-read 
thermometer registers 190-195F. Cool on wire racks.
