Description

A hearty and wholesome 100% rye bread packed with sesame and pumpkin seeds. Perfectly dense, richly flavored, and easy to make at home.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
  • 3 cups rye flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place sesame and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over them and let soak for 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine warm water and dry active yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the soaked seeds, rye flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined into a sticky dough.
  4. Line a loaf pan or grease a Dutch oven. Transfer the dough and smooth the top.
  5. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until slightly puffed.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 50–60 minutes until the crust is firm and sounds hollow.
  7. Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Toast the seeds before adding for a deeper flavor.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gumminess.
  • Wrap in cloth or parchment for best storage.
