Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 to 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1 package regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups rye flour
Cornmeal
Additional caraway seed, if desired

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the mashed potatoes (dry), brown sugar, salt, 3/4 teaspoon caraway seed and the yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat buttermilk, water and oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into potato mixture until blended. Stir in rye flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
  • Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll dough into rope, about 3 inches thick and 25 inches long. Curl dough into coil shape; tuck ends under. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. Brush water over dough; sprinkle with cornmeal and additional caraway seed. Bake 23 to 28 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.
