Authentic NY Rye Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached bread flour (such as King Arthur®)
  • 1 cup dark rye flour
  • 3 tablespoons dry potato flakes
  • 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons demerara sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup sour pickle juice
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and place them in the bowl of your large stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Begin by thoroughly mixing together the bread flour, rye flour, potato flakes, caraway seeds, demerara sugar, yeast, and sea salt.
2
Combine warm water, canola oil, and pickle juice in the mixer bowl with dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
3
Switch to the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer and continue mixing until your dough is rough, shaggy-looking, and slightly uneven in texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes, giving the ingredients time to meld together.
4
After resting, remove the plastic wrap and use the dough hook attachment to knead the dough until it becomes smooth, firm, and only slightly sticky. This process should take around 6 to 8 minutes.
5
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and continue kneading until it is smooth and even. This final kneading session should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
6
Shape the dough into a ball and lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat evenly with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm location, allowing it to rise until nearly double its original size. This should take around 1 hour.
7
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) by placing the rack in the middle. Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan and shape the dough into a log, placing it in the prepared loaf pan. Cover the pan with a cloth kitchen towel and allow it to rise until the top of the dough has risen slightly above the pan's edges. This should take 60 to 90 minutes.
8
Bake your loaf in the preheated oven until it is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a thermometer into the center of the loaf; it should read 190 degrees F (90 degrees C). If your loaf browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, shiny side out.
9
Once the loaf is done baking, remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
