Makes 4 loaves of rye bread. In a bread mixer (or very large bowl), mix:
In a separate bowl, combine:
In the microwave, bring the bowl of liquids to a temperature of 120°-130° F. Add the liquids to the flour mixture and whisk it together well. Add 7 cups of white flour to the mix until it holds together and the dough begins to bind. In the bread mixer, turn the arm for 5-7 minutes (or turn slowly in a bowl with wooden spoon for 5-7 minutes) making sure the dough "webs". Drape a kitchen towel over the bread mixer and let the dough rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, grease 4 bread-loaf pans (butter them or spray with grapeseed oil). Punch down the dough and tip it onto a floured board. Using a bread scraper, turn the dough to cover it in flour and create a pile of dough that you can handle. Cut the dough into 4 equal parts. Flatten each quarter with your hands and roll it up into a loaf, and put it into a pan. Cover the pans with a towel and let the dough rise for 45 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350° F. Bake the loaves for 40 minutes. |
