It is no surprise that Milwaukee is a "city of rye." In this city 
settled and inhabited by people of German, Scandinavian, Eastern 
European descent, rye is the bread of choice.

Yield: 1 round loaf

Yield: 1 rye sourdough starter

Starter: In a 4-quart nonmetallic container, dissolve yeast in warm 
water (110 to 115F); let stand 5 minutes. Add rye flour and caraway 
seeds; stir. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm place 
for 2 to 3 days. Stir twice each day. The starter will rise and fall 
during the fermentation period; it becomes thinner as it stands. A 
temperature of 80- 85F is best for developing the sour flavor.

When the starter is developed, it is bubbly and may have a yellow 
liquid layer on top; stir starter before using. The starter can be 
used for baking or placed in the refrigerator for later use. To use 
the starter, measure out desired amounts as specified in the recipe. 
Let refrigerated starter come to room temperature before using; this 
will take about 4 hours.

Replenish remaining starter with 3 parts rye flour to 2 parts water 
and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir until blend; some lumps may remain. Cover 
loosely and let stand in warm place for 10 to 12 hours or overnight. 
The starter will rise and become bubbly. Stir and store in 
refrigerator. If the starter is not used every week, stir in 1 
teaspoon sugar to keep it active.

Bread Machine Method: Have water, oil, and molasses at 80F and all 
other ingredients at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in 
the order listed. Select basic cycle and medium/normal crust. Do not 
use the delay timer. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of 
kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and 
stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and 
sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. Remove bread when cycle 
is finished; cool. If you desire a round loaf, select dough cycle and 
remove dough after kneading, then follow Rising, Shaping and Baking 
instructions below.

Mixer Methods: Using ingredient amounts listed for medium loaf, 
combine yeast, 1 cup bread flour, caraway seeds, and salt. Combine 
water, oil, and molasses; heat to 120 to 130F.

Hand-Held Mixer Method: Combine sourdough starter, dry mixture, and 
liquid ingredients in mixing bowl on low speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes 
on medium speed. By hand, stir in rye flour and enough remaining 
bread flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 
minutes or until smooth and elastic. Use additional bread flour if necessary.

Stand Mixer Method: Combine sourdough starter, dry mixture, and 
liquid ingredients in mixing bowl with paddle or beaters for 4 
minutes on medium speed. Gradually add rye flour and remaining bread 
flour and knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and 
elastic. Use additional bread flour if necessary.

Food Processor Method: Put sourdough starter and dry mixture in 
processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add liquid 
ingredients. Process until mixed. Continue processing, adding rye 
flour and remaining bread flour until dough forms a ball.

Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let 
rise until dough tests ripe. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; 
punch down to remove air bubbles. Shape dough into a round loaf. 
Place on greased cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover; let 
rise 15 minutes. With a sharp knife, make 2 or 3 slashes on the top 
of the loaf. Let rise again until indentation remains after touching. 
Bake in preheated 375F oven 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet; cool.

*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active 
Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise 
faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: 
use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 
tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
