Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Warm water
- 240 ml Milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 60 g Honey
- 30 g Molasses
- 60 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 10 g Salt
- 5 g Ground caraway seeds
- 200 g Rye flour
- 400 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Shredded Jarlsberg cheese
- 50 g Additional all-purpose flour (for kneading)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, milk, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add the honey, molasses, melted butter, salt, and ground caraway seeds to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gradually sift in the rye flour and half of the all-purpose flour, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment until a sticky dough forms.
Add the shredded Jarlsberg cheese to the dough, folding it in gently to distribute it evenly.
Gradually add the remaining all-purpose flour while kneading the dough on a floured surface or using a stand mixer on low speed. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, adding additional flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a round or oval loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the loaf loosely with the kitchen towel and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
