Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams Rye flour
• 8 grams Salt
• 10 grams Sugar
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 300 milliliters Buttermilk
• 50 milliliters Lukewarm water
• 15 milliliters Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir together until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the buttermilk, lukewarm water, and olive oil.

Step 3

Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes on medium speed.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place an oven-safe baking dish filled with water on the lower rack to create steam.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release the air and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the shaped loaf with a towel and let it rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until it puffs up slightly.

Step 9

With a sharp knife, score the top of the loaf with shallow slashes to help it expand evenly during baking.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
