In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir together until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the buttermilk, lukewarm water, and olive oil.
Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for 8β10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5β6 minutes on medium speed.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1β1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F) and place an oven-safe baking dish filled with water on the lower rack to create steam.
Punch down the risen dough to release the air and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased loaf pan.
Cover the shaped loaf with a towel and let it rise again for 30β40 minutes, or until it puffs up slightly.
With a sharp knife, score the top of the loaf with shallow slashes to help it expand evenly during baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30β35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
