Ingredients

• 250 grams Rye flour
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Cottage cheese
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 200 milliliters Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 30 grams Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and caraway seeds. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the frothy yeast mixture and the cottage cheese into the flour mixture.

Step 4

Pour in the melted butter and begin to mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add a bit of flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 6

Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Punch down the dough gently to release the gas and knead it briefly on a floured surface.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased or lined bread pan. Allow it to rise again for about 30 minutes until it has risen visibly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and has a golden-brown crust.

Step 10

Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
