So Healthy and so Delicious!

We love making bread, especially rye bread! It’s really healthy, packed with nutrients and keeps longer! We thought we’d share some health benefits of rye and fiber before we give you the recipe

Did you know:

• Rye bread satisfies longer than wheat
• Rye’s fiber promotes weight loss
• Rye lowers insulin respons
• Improves blood glucose profile
• Helps prevent gallstones
• Rye and other Whole grains substantially lowers type 2 diabetes risk
• Fiber fights diabetes and cardiovascular disease and promotes gastrointestinal health

 Recipe:

1. 3,3 Tbsp dry Yeast (50 g.)
2. 2 Tbsp Butter
3. 1 3/4 Cups finger warm Milk
4. 1 tsp Salt
5. 3 Cups Rye flour
6. 1 1/3 Cups Whole wheat flour
7. 1/2 Cup Flaxseeds

Tip: before you start, it’s best to use your stand mixer for this recipe.

1. Melt your butter, then add the milk to it and warm it up until the mix is finger warm (98.5 F/37 C) and add it to your mixing bowl along with the dry yeast.

2. Add your salt long with the the whole wheat, flax-seeds and 2 cups of rye flour. Gradually turn your speed up on your stand mixer and add some more of the flower until the dough doesn’t stick to the bowl anymore.

3. Knead the dough for an additional 2-3 minutes until smooth.

4. Get your kitchen sink ready with 1,5 inches of warm water. Wrap the bowl in plastic and place it in the sink.

5. Let the dough rise for about 40 minutes or until doubled in size.

6. Preheat over to 475 F (240 C)

6. Knead the pre-risen dough lightly together (2 minutes) and divide dough into 16 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray or brush the rolls with lukewarm water before placing them in the oven.

7. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes on the middle shelf or until golden brown.

8. Straight from the oven set aside under a tea-towel for 5 minutes, this will make them softer.

Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tip: These are excellent to store in your freezer for a later date!
