Ingredients:

  • 4 cups warm water
  • 3 cups rye flour
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 envelopes dry yeast (or 4 tsp yeast)
  • 3 tbsp corn oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 8 -9 cups flour

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl stir together the first six ingredients (water-fennel seed) until smooth to make the sponge. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour or until doubled.
  2. Stir down the sponge with a wooden spoon and add oil, salt and 3 cups of flour, stirring until combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in remaining flour (1/2 cup at a time) until you have a soft dough.
  4. Place dough onto a floured board and knead for 10 minutes or until dough is no longer sticky (you will need to add more flour as you knead the dough).
  5. Grease a large bowl (or I use a large pot) and add dough, turning to grease all sides and then cover bowl (or pot) with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Punch down. Let rise until doubled (1 hour).
  6. Grease baking sheets.
  7. Put dough on floured board and knead dough for a minute or two and then divide dough into four pieces.
  8. Working with one piece at a time, knead each piece into a round loaf and then place each round on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour or until doubled. (Optional) With a sharp knife mark an x on top of each loaf.
  9. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  10. Bake loaves for one hour or until done. To test for doneness tap loaves on bottom and if it sounds hollow loaves are done.
