astray recipes: Ray bauer's swedish rye bread (limpa)

Categories: Breads
Yield: 1 servings

Measure	Ingredient
1 teaspoon	Fennel seeds
1 teaspoon	Cumin seeds
1 teaspoon	Caraway seeds
¼ cup	Cracked wheat
2¼ tablespoon	Margarine or butter
2¼ tablespoon	Molasses or barley malt
1 tablespoon	Grated fresh orange peel
	(zest)
¼ teaspoon	Baking soda
1½ cup	Whole wheat or rye flour
	(your choice will affect
	The taste - I prefer wheat)
1½ cup	High gluten bread flour
2 teaspoons	Dry yeast
2 teaspoons	Gluten (IMPORTANT!)
3 tablespoons	Buttermilk powder

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Combine the first 7 ingredients (using FRESH seeds only!) in 1⅓ cup of boiling water and soak for 1 hour minimum. (This pre-soaks the cracked wheat and pre-releases the other flavors.) Dump this concoction into a bowl and add the remaining 6 ingredients.

Set your bread machine to White and bake at the medium setting...

Manual -- do the normal knead and rise tricks. Bake at 350 F for 30 ~ 35 minutes. (test this since oven temps. vary) Makes 1 loaf
