Oldtime Rye Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup regular barley

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup water

1 egg

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons active yeast

3 cups bread flour

Directions

Place barley in small bowl, pressing down gently until slightly moistened. Sprinkle sugar, water, egg and cinnamon over barley; place together to form a slurry.

Change bran coating: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add rye and stir to loosen. Drain and cool slightly. Add yeast mixture; stir just enough to get into a slightly sticky state.

Place yeast in a large bowl. Cover and let stand overnight. Meanwhile, mix together flour, salt, garlic powder and active yeast.

Stand out from the rest by creating a slightly translucent border with a spoon or fork.

When finished, add warm water to bran mixture to a little below the border. The border will spread out like rose petals when dry.
