The unique but complementary soluble fibers of dark rye flour and oat bran are combined with a lesser quantity of bread flour to create a flavorful, moist bread.
Less kneading is required since rye flour and oat bran do not benefit much from this preparation.
Caraway seeds provide traditional rye bread flavor, but certain herbs and spices also complement the flour blend in this dense, slightly Sticky Rye.
Sticky Rye Bread
Ingredients: (more listed in Proof)
2 cups dark rye flour
3/4 cup bread flour
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1 tbsp caraway seed
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup bread flour for kneading and to coat bread pan
Proof: (15 min.)
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tbsp organic honey
1/2 cup med. oat bran
1/4 cup bread flour
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
Directions:
Lightly oil a medium bread pan, then sprinkle it with flour; tap pan to remove excess flour.
In a large bowl, combine rye flour, bread flour, flaxseed meal, caraway seed, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, create a Proof by combining warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir, then add oat bran and bread flour, stirring briefly after each ingredient is added. Cover and allow to set 15 min. in a warm place.
When Proof has set 15 min., add olive oil and stir well to combine. Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture, stir well, then knead 5 min. with a large wooden spoon. Cover and allow to rise 30 min. in a warm place.
Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, remove dough from bowl and knead briefly, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to hands and surface. Create a flat roll with more height than width and place in bread pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and allow to rise 45 min. in a warm place.
15 min. before baking, turn on oven to 350 degrees. Remove cover from dough and bake about 55 min. Serve while warm, then slice, cover and refrigerate any remaining bread.
Note: Try with Garlic/Parsley Spread: combine a 7 oz. container of Butter with Olive Oil, 3 tbsp dried parsley, and 1 tsp garlic granules; refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Quicker Sticky
by: Rod
The second kneading of this low-gluten dough can be skipped since final texture is about the same without the extra kneading. But bake as rolls or two small loaves to avoid moisture problems, using just enough sprinkled flour to create balls of dough for one 30-45 min. rise.
