Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rye flour
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir until dissolved and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rye flour, ground flaxseed, and salt.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, plain yogurt, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time, until manageable.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.
Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel and allow it to rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edges of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
