Easy Rye Bread

By Chelseajmartin

Rye Bread

The key to this recipe is to plan ahead. The dough should be made at least 1 day before it is to be baked.

Ingredients
3 cups  lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher or other coarse salt
2 cups rye flour
4 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
Cornmeal for the pizza peel
Directions
Mix the dough and allow to rise for about 4 hours. Place in the refrigerator, in a non air tight container, overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place the baking stone while the oven comes up to temperature.
Cut off a chunk of dough. Cloak (sprinkle with flour) and gently shape the dough into the desired shape.
