Sandwich rye bread recipe

The deterioration of living environment and the increase of study and work pressure are slowly eroding our health, so health preservation actions are urgent.

1. Mix warm water, salt, yeast and caraway seeds in a large container. The yeast does not need to be completely dissolved.

2.12 Add high flour and rye flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is evenly distributed and there is no dry powder. This step can be completed in a few minutes

3.21 Cover with lid (no need to seal) and refrigerate. The book says that 2 hours of fermentation at room temperature is enough, but the dough refrigerated in the refrigerator is not sticky and easy to handle. So I usually throw it in the refrigerator after I finish it and continue working on it the next day. The refrigerated fermentation method should be more suitable for people like me who don’t have a lot of time to bake.

4. The next day, the dough has more than doubled.

5. Take it out of the refrigerator before starting to make bread

6.1 While the dough is relaxing, start making the cornstarch paste. Put 0.5 teaspoon of corn starch in a bowl, add a little water and use a fork to mix the water and corn starch to form a paste. Then pour in 0.5 cups of cold water, stir evenly with a fork, and heat in the microwave on high for 36-60 seconds until it becomes transparent (you can also heat it on the stove). The heated cornstarch paste can be stored in the refrigerator for two weeks. If it smells stale, throw it away.

7.2 To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, sprinkle a thin layer of high flour on the dough first, then quickly grab the dough and cut it with scissors. Tighten the surface reinforcement net and complete the shaping quickly. Place on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal and let it rest for 2 hours (the book says to rest for 40 minutes, but I don’t think it’s enough, especially in the middle of winter)

8. After the second fermentation, lightly apply a layer of corn starch paste on the surface of the dough and cut out the desired pattern.
