Rye loaf - cinnamon nutmeg

Makes 1 loaf. Takes 2 days.

Adapted from Hollywood book pg 96. I wanted a smaller loaf so halved all ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 170 gm water
  • 7 gm yeast
  • 175 gm rye flour
  • 75 gm white flour
  • 5 gm salt
  • 40 gm malt extract (~2 Tbsp)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp nutmeg
  • 50 gm raisins
  • 25 gm chopped walnuts

Method - Day 1

  • Soak raisins in half water overnight

Method - Day 2

  • Add water and yeast to bowl and mix
  • Add dry ingredients to bowl (except walnuts & raisins) and mix in bowl for 5 mins
  • Take off rings and knead on bench for 6 mins
  • Put back in bowl, cover and rest for 2 hours
  • Grease up the small loaf tin, use butter and flour
  • Flour the bench so dough doesn't stick
  • Flatten dough out and sprinkle walnuts & raisins
  • Roll into sausage so it fits the tin, add flour if necessary
  • Sprinkle seeds on bench, spray loaf and roll in seeds (optional)
  • Cover with big silver bowl, rest for 1 hour
  • Bake 30 mins @ 200c
