New York Jewish Deli Rye #Breadbakers

I've always love a caraway rye bread, even when I was little and didn't like whole grain or seeded breads.  This recipe turned out a beautifully scented loaf with a lovely soft crumb.  Rye toast is one of my favorite things, but I know that it would make fantastic sandwiches as well.  I found this recipe on allrecipes and it's a definite winner for me.

 
New York Jewish Deli Rye
makes one loaf

260g (2 cups) bread flour
115g (1 cup) dark rye flour (whole grain rye flour) (You may need up to 30g more bread flour if using fresh ground rye)
16g (1½ tbsp potato flour, or 3 tbsp potato flakes)
16g (2 tbsp) caraway seeds
20g (1½ tbsp) light brown muscovado sugar
10g (2½ tsp) instant yeast
9g (1½ tsp) sea salt
227g (1 cup) warm water
55g (¼ cup) avocado oil
63g (¼ cup) sour pickle juice 

Combine flours, caraway seeds, sugar, yeast, and sea salt in the bowl of a large stand mixer.   Stir the warm water, avocado oil, and pickle juice into the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until it is rough and shaggy-looking.  Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Knead again until the dough is smooth, firm, and only slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and knead by hand until smooth, 1 to 2 more minutes.

Shape the dough into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover the bowl and set in a warm place until nearly double, about an hour.

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Turn out the dough onto a lightly oiled surface, shape into an oblong loaf, and place into the pan.  Cover and let rise until top of dough has risen slightly over the top of the pan, 60 to 90 minutes.  Slash if desired.

Position baking rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 350ºF.  Bake until golden brown and bread is fully cooked through, about 35 minutes. (The internal temperature of the bread should be at least 190ºF.

Remove loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
