                         MIX:
   1 1/4           cups  warm water -- (105-115F)
   1              Tbsp.  light brown sugar
   2 1/4            tsp  active dry yeast
   1              Tbsp.  canola oil -- or vegetable oil
                         COMBINE:
   2               cups  bread flour
   1 1/4           cups  medium rye flour
      1/4           cup  instant potato flakes
   1              Tbsp.  caraway seeds
   2               tsp.  kosher salt
   1               tsp.  onion powder

With little to no effort, you can bake a loaf of homemade bread with 
the best of them. But why bother baking bread with all of the great 
artisan loaves on the market these days? Besides the feeling of 
accomplishment, as well as the wonderful smells wafting through the 
house, it's actually hard to find a decent loaf of bakery-fresh rye 
bread. Commercial rye breads are massproduced and they're usually 
made with processed white rye flour and artificial caraway flavoring, 
so they don't taste that great and have very little food value.

When it comes to baking rye bread though, a few things differ from it 
and wheat dough. Rye doughs are stickier, softer, and more difficult 
to handle than stronger wheat doughs. They have a higher ash content 
(a measure of mineral content) than wheat, which encourages rapid 
yeast activity. Consequently, rye doughs ferment faster than wheat 
doughs. And because rye flour has less gluten, it could potentially 
overproof because it can only support a certain amount of rising 
before it collapses. To prevent this from happening, and for added 
structure, supplement with bread flour.

After shaping the loaf, keep a careful eye on the final proofing and 
don't expect the dough to puff up like wheat dough does. Put the loaf 
in the oven when it's slightly underproofed to get the most ovenspring.

Tip:  Adding potato flakes helps create a softer loaf of bread, while 
caraway seeds and onion powder flavor it.
Glass loaf pans conduct heat well, help with browning, and allow you 
to actually see an entire loaf as it bakes.
For a bouleshaped loaf, form the dough into a tight round ball after 
the first rise. Let it rise again until it doubles in size, 1?2 
hours, then slash the top and bake it.

Total: 1 hour + rising
Makes: 1 loaf

Mix water with brown sugar and yeast; let proof until foamy, 5 
minutes. Mix in oil.

Combine bread flour, rye flour, potato flakes, caraway seeds, salt, 
and onion powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough 
hook attachment. Add yeast mixture and mix on low speed until a dough 
forms and no streaks of flour remain, 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium.

Knead dough in stand mixer until smooth and elastic, 10 minutes. 
Dough will be sticky. If dough seems unmanageable, add 1-2 Tbsp. more 
bread flour and knead until incorporated. Transfer dough to a lightly 
oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place 
until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into an 8" loaf, and 
place into an 8 1/2x4 1/2" glass (Pyrex) loaf pan. Cover loaf with 
plastic wrap coated with nonstick spray; let rise until above the 
edge of the pan, 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F with rack in lowest position. Bake bread until 
golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 190F, 
30 to 35 minutes.

Transfer bread to a rack; let cool 5 minutes. Turn bread out onto 
rack and let cool completely.
