Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange Zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground Caraway Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Anise Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Fennel Seeds
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cups Rye Flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
Instructions
Measure and prepare all ingredients before starting to ensure accuracy and organization.
Add water (at room temperature or slightly warm) to the bread machine pan.
Add molasses, unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), salt, brown sugar, orange zest, caraway seeds, anise seeds, and fennel seeds into the bread machine pan in the order specified by the manufacturer of your machine.
Add the all-purpose flour and rye flour, ensuring they cover the liquids completely.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture and place the active dry yeast into the well (do not let the yeast touch the liquid).
Set the bread machine to the Basic or White Bread cycle, and select the medium crust setting if available.
Press start and allow the machine to knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process will take approximately 3 hours, depending on the machine.
Once the bread has finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine, using oven mitts if necessary, as it will be hot.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, with butter, or alongside cheese and cured meats to enjoy the flavors of Swedish Limpa Bread.
