Time 4h25m

Yield 24 small muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from a 1/4-oz package)
1 1/2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
1 cup warm water (105-115 F)
2/3 cup rye flour
1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon anise seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon caraway seed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus additional for greasing
2 tablespoons molasses (not blackstrap)
vegetable oil, for greasing
1 large egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Stir together yeast, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 15 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.).
  • Whisk together rye flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, zest, salt, anise seeds, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds. Add flour mixture along with melted butter, molasses, and remaining 3/4 cup warm water to yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, beating until combined. Add remaining 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and beat until incorporated. (Dough will be very sticky.) Scrape down dough from side of bowl with a rubber spatula and let rise, bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F Butter muffin pans.
  • Stir down dough (it will be too sticky to punch down). Divide dough evenly among 24 muffin cups, about a rounded tablespoon per cup. (Grease tablespoon with oil as necessary to prevent sticking.) Let dough rest, uncovered, in a draft-free place at warm room temperature 30 minutes. Gently brush tops of muffins with some of egg wash, then sprinkle with sea salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds.
  • Bake until muffins are puffed and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Turn out muffins onto a rack and cool to warm or room temperature.

QUICK SWEDISH RYE BREAD



Quick Swedish Rye Bread image

This all-rye bread, called matbrod or "food bread" in Sweden, is incredibly simple to make. The cumin seeds impart a unique but delicious flavour. You could use caraway seeds instead. Recipe found in Canadian House and Home and is from Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour and Tradition Around the World (2003 Random House Canada).

LIMPA



Limpa image

Categories     Bread     Milk/Cream     Bake     Anise     Molasses     Caraway     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 packages (about 5 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup molasses
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon aniseed
1 tablespoon caraway seeds if desired
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 cups rye flour
3 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a small bowl proof the yeast in the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. In a small saucepan heat the milk with the molasses and the butter until the mixture is just lukewarm and the butter is melted and remove the pan from the heat. In a large bowl stir together the yeast mixture, the milk mixture, the aniseed, the caraway seeds, the salt, the zest, the rye flour, and 3 cups of the unbleached flour until the mixture is combined well, turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes, adding as much of the remaining 1 cup unbleached flour as is necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Transfer the dough to a buttered large bowl, turning it to coat it with the butter, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk.
  • Punch down the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead it a few times. Divide the dough in half, form each half into a round loaf, and transfer the loaves to a buttered large baking sheet. Let the loaves rise, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until they are almost double in bulk.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prick the loaves with a fork to form a decorative pattern and bake them in the middle of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are browned and sound hollow when the bottoms are tapped. Transfer the loaves to a rack and let them cool.

I like to serve these savory muffins, whose flavors are reminiscent of black bread and pumpernickel, with hearty borscht-type soups, smoked fish or cheese.
