Dill caraway rye bread – Light and airy, with a soft crust and filled with caraway and dill seeds, this egg free bread is just what you need to make delicious deli sandwiches.
I’m happy to be working again with Red Star Yeast and bring you a flavorful easy to make rye bread.
I’m a country girl but on weekends I’m a city girl all the way. Before coming to US, I’ve lived pretty much in the city, except for the summer vacations. Small shops everywhere, corner bakeries and lots of delis. No matter the time of the day there was at least one deli opened to make amazing sandwiches.
In my first year of college there was this small Mom & Pap Jewish deli just cross thestreet and there I had my first rye bread deli sandwich. It was an accident. Although my family roots are in the countryside, our land was mostly cultivatedwith wheat and corn. They may have had some rye, but I do not remember my grandma ever making rye bread.
With that first rye bread deli sandwichI knew I had discovered the mother of all sandwiches. Sure, you can make sandwiches on any bread, but if you want a deli sandwich, you gottahave rye bread, especially one that’s easy to make, light and soft packed with dill and caraway seeds.
The recipe for this dill caraway rye bread comes from Red Star Yeast. As usual I didn’t change much, actually just used butter instead of shortening and changed a little bit the directions. Instead of kneading the bread by hand I used my trusty stand up mixer, which does the job way better than me.
Even if you knead by hand or let the mixer do the job, you’ll end up with two beautiful, soft and flavorful loaves.For best results you have to let the loaves cool before slicing them.
I usually slice mine all the way, place the slices in a freezer bag and just take them out as needed.
