    Title: Rye And Caraway Seed Bread
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 1 Loaf

    150 g White sourdough starter
    -(100% hydration)
    350 g Water; tepid-warm
    300 g White bread flour
    75 g Whole wheat flour
    75 g Whole rye flour
    20 g Treacle (molasses)
    50 g Filter coffee
    15 g Caraway seeds
    10 g Salt

    The caraway seeds smell so good when this bakes. I think the coffee
    and treacle definitely add a nice background note - but you probably
    wouldn't guess there's coffee in it if you didn't know.

    You can use a rye starter if that's all you have, just replace the 75
    g rye flour in this recipe with white bread flour to keep the ratio
    the same. Also, this dough is quite sticky - around 80% hydration -
    so if you're not comfortable handling wet dough use
    320 g water, or even a bit less.

    Dissolve the treacle in the hot coffee. Once the coffee is cool, mix
    all ingredients except the caraway seeds and salt into a shaggy dough
    and autolyse for 45 minutes.

    Add the salt and caraway seeds and knead until almost - but not quite
    ~ passing the windowpane test. This can take a while if the dough is
    wet - it took me 7 minutes in a stand mixer, with a rest half way
    through. It'll probably be at least 10 minutes by hand.

    Bulk ferment until almost doubled in size. This can take anywhere
    from 4 to 8 hours in my experience. For me, on a cold February day in
    England, it took around 7 hours. Do two or three stretch and folds
    during this time. You should notice it significantly improve in
    strength each time. If it's holding it's shape, stop folding.

    Shape into a boule and prove for 1-1/2 hours, then place in the fridge
    overnight.

    Preheat the oven to 240°C.

    Spray the dough with a little water and sprinkle a 50/50 mix of sesame
    seeds and golden linseed (flax seed) on top. Score the dough.

    Turn the oven down to 220°C. Bake 20 minutes with steam (or with the
    lid on your cast iron pot), 20 minutes without steam (lid off).

    Let it cool completely before cutting, and enjoy.
