  • the night before you want to bake the bread, feed the starter with 1 cup rye flour, 1/2 cup bread flour, and 2/3 cup water. cover, and let stand at room temperature overnight.
  • in a large bowl, mix together expanded starter, 1/4 cup water, salt, sugar, oil, seeds, and 1 cup each rye and bread flour. add more or less flour as necessary to get a soft dough.
  • turn dough out a lightly floured surface, and knead until satiny. place in a well oiled bowl, and turn once to oil the surface. cover with a damp cloth. allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled.
  • punch down dough, and shape into loaves. place on a greased baking sheet. allow to rise until doubled in bulk.
  • bake at 350 degrees f (175 degrees c) for 40 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when thumped on the bottom.
  • alternate baking method for chewier, salty crust: bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). in a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. remove loaves from oven and brush crust with salt water. continue baking for 25 minutes more, brushing at 10 minute intervals.
