- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 3 cups rye flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Place sesame and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over them and let soak for 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine warm water and dry active yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
