author: The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook directions: 'In the 5-qt. bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar, salt, 1½ T. caraway seeds, the rye flour, and bread flour. Mix until thoroughly combined. With the mixer running, slowly add the water and mix until the dough forms a ball and leaves the sides of the bowl. This will take about 2 min. Add the pecans and currants and mix for 2 min. more. Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Wipe out the mixing bowl and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Return the dough to the bowl, turn over so all dough has a coating of spray, cover with a damp towel, and place in a warm (about 85F) spot for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350F. Punch the dough down to release the trapped gases. Form it into 3 loaves approximately 12” long and 2” wide. Brush with cold water and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and remaining 3½ T. caraway seeds. Place the loaves on a lightly greased baking sheet and let sit in a warm place for about 20 min. Bake for 30 min., turning the pan every 10 min. or so to ensure even browning. Cool on a wire rack.' ingredient_blocks: - ingredients: - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '1' name: Dry Yeast note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '1' name: Sugar note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '1' name: Salt note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: T. value: '5' name: Caraway Seeds note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: 2½ name: Rye Flour note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '3' name: Bread Flour note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '2' name: Warm Water (95F) note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '1' name: Coarsely chopped Pecans note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: '1' name: Dried Black Currants note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: cooking value: Nonstick name: spray note: null - amount: alternatives: [] range_: null units: C. value: ¼ name: kosher salt note: null name: null name: Salt-Crusted Currant Rye Bread source: null tags: null url: null yield_: 3 Loaves
