--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Dough
   2 3/4           cups  Bread Flour -- Unbleached, (326g)
   1 1/4            cup  rye flour -- medium, or pumpernickel flour, (128g)
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt -- (9g)
   1          teaspoons  Deli Rye Flavor -- (to 2 tsp), optional, but VERY good
   1 1/2      teaspoons  instant yeast
   1                 to  caraway seeds -- optional(to 2 tsp)
   1           teaspoon  cocoa -- black, or caramel color, optional; 
for a med dark loaf
   1 1/2           cups  water -- (340g)
                         Filling
   1                cup  onion -- peeled and chopped, (142g)
   1         tablespoon  olive oil
   1                cup  Swiss cheese -- 1/4" diced, (113g)

We modeled this cheese-swirled rye loaf after that of a small family 
bakery, then added some onions for a little extra zing. You'll enjoy 
this hearty loaf on its own or as a great base for Reuben sandwiches.

PREP: 20 mins
BAKE: 20 to 30 mins
TOTAL: 2:20
YIELD: one 15" to 16" bâtard or 2 small loaves

To make the dough: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning 
it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Combine all of the dough 
ingredients - by hand, mixer, or bread machine - mixing and kneading 
to form a smooth and shiny dough.

Place the dough into a greased bowl, turn to coat, and cover.

Place it in a warm spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours, until the dough has 
expanded by at least a third.

Lightly grease (or line with parchment) a baking sheet.

To assemble the loaf: Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased or 
floured surface, then pat it out into a 12" square.

Sauté the onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil until lightly browned. 
Sprinkle the dough with the onions and cheese.

Fold it into thirds (like a letter) to enclose the onions and cheese.

Form it into a 15" to 16" fat baguette - in other words, a bâtard. 
(Or divide and shape it into two smaller loaves).

Place the loaf/loaves on the baking sheet, and cover lightly with 
greased plastic wrap or a dough cover.

Allow the bread to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.

To bake the bread: Toward the end of the rise, preheat the oven to 400F.

Just before placing the bread into the oven cut 4 to 5 diagonal 
slashes across the top, each about 1/4" deep.

Spritz the bread with water, then place it into the oven.

Bake it for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven heat to 350F and bake 
for an additional 15 minutes (for 1 large loaf). For two smaller 
loaves, check after an additional 10 minutes. Bread is done when an 
instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190F.

Store the bread, well-wrapped, at room temperature for up to 5 days 
or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips: As with any loaf containing rye, allowing it to cool for 
several hours or overnight will reduce the slight gumminess that rye 
has when it first comes out of the oven. But with this bread, it'll 
be hard to wait, as its aroma is so enticing!
