Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 ½ cups rye flour
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Fine Sea Salt
• 1 ⅓ cups tepid water (about 100 degrees F)
• 2 tablespoons ground caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt, divided
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Dissolve the yeast in water and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Allow to stand for 5 minutes or until a creamy foam forms. Add olive oil, Diamond Crystal® Fine Sea Salt, caraway seed, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until blended. Cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Stir 2 cups of flour into the yeast mixture and mix, adding as much additional flour as necessary for dough to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a ball on the hook. Knead on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise for about an hour or until doubled.

Step 5

Stir dough down. Cover bowl again and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight to relax the dough.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly scatter half the Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt and half the whole caraway seeds over the surface.

Step 7

Divide the dough in quarters; cover and refrigerate all but one quarter at a time. Divide each quarter into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a rope about 12 inches long. Place each on the prepared pan and lightly press down. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Step 8

Cover the baking sheet lightly and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Spray or brush each rope with water and sprinkle with the remaining Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt and caraway seeds.

Step 10

Bake in preheated oven until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer to a rack to cool.
