Have you ever eaten Russian bread?
Natalya Mann, native Russian, shares a receipe
for Russian Black Rye Bread
In Russia, a meal is not complete without bread.
It is considered to be the most staple food.
Bread is considered to be one of the national
symbols of Russia and is one of the ingredients
for the familiar "Bread and Salt" ceremony.
I lived in Volgograd, Russia for almost 40 years
and until I came to the United States in 1996 I
had never seen a loaf of pre-sliced bread. My
favorite of all the Russian breads is black rye
bread. I was not able to find anything similar
in the United States. After about 2 years,
I adapted a receipe given to me from another
Russian friend. This involved converting units
from metric to English and adjusting the moisture
so it would work in a bread machine. The result
was almost identical to the best black rye bread
I had in Volgograd. Here is the receipe.
Try it and Enjoy.
Russian Black Rye Bread :
This recipe was originally intended to be made
in a conventional oven but I am not really
a bread maker so I adapted it to work in my
home bread machine. It works fine. I have
eaten this bread that was made in a conventional
oven and the results are very similar either way.
Adjust the amount of water as noted below.
DRY INGREDIENTS:
onion powder - 3 tbs.
salt - 1/2 tsp.
unsweetened cocoa - 2 tbs.
caraway seed - 1 tbs.
fennel seed - 1 tsp.
wheat bran - 1/2 cup
rye flour - 1 cup
white wheat flout - 3-1/2 cups (use premium quality flour).
yeast - 3 tsp.
LIQUID INGREDIENTS:
fruit juice concentrate (orange) - 2 tbs.
molasses - 3 tbs.
vinegar - 3 tbs.
water - 1-1/2 cups (use 1-1/3 cups of you
are using a conventional oven).
To make this recipe in a bread machine, mix
the dry ingredients in one bowl and the
liquid ingredients in another.
Pour the liquid ingredients in the machine
first and then pour in the dry ingredients.
Select the machine's program for rye or
whole wheat bread.
notes on units of measure:
tsp = teaspoon, 1 tsp = 1/6 fl. oz.
tbs = tablespoon, 1 tbs = 1/2 fl. oz.
