List of Ingredients



• ¼ cup honey
  
• ¼ cup light molasses
  
• 2 tsp salt
  
• 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
  
• 2 Tbsp caraway seeds
  
• 1 cup boiling water
  
• 2 packages active dry yeast
  
• ¾ cup warm water (105° to 115° F)
  
• 2 cups rye flour
  
• 3½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Place honey, molasses, salt, butter, caraway seeds, and boiling water in small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
   
   
2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm honey mixture, rye flour, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix until well mixed, about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl if necessary. Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining all-purpose flour, ½ cup at a time, and mix about 2 minutes, or until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.
   
   
3. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
   
   
4. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place on two greased baking sheets. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
   
   
5. Bake at 350° F for 30 to 45 minutes. Cover loaves with aluminum foil for last 15 minutes if tops brown too quickly. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool on wire racks.
