Off the Hook Rye Bread

February 23, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

We only need to get through these two days then the weekend is here.  I have to say I have been enjoying the week.  It is gorgeous outside.  It’s gotta be in the mid 70’s here in Northern California.  They said cooler weather with a chance of rain over the weekend though!  Oh well, gives me time to do some cooking in the kitchen.  it’s going to be hard to cook when it starts to get hot out.  My Husband yells at me when I turn the oven on, when it’s above 75.

Now I know yesterday, I said I am cutting my bread back and I am, so far, none today, and I don’t plan on having any, but today’s recipe is a bread recipe.  But its a healthy bread that my Husband asked me to make.  As you can tell from the title of my post it’s Rye Bread and it’s the best dam rye bread I ever had, I’m not kidding you! Whats even more shocking is it’s healthy and my Husband loves it!!  So good…

What also surprises me is it’s my Husband favorite bread and he can’t stand wheat bread.  I think there kind of similar.   Being from Buffalo, rye bread is pretty common, but in California it’s hard to find a good rye bread.  It’s either really dense or it just doesn’t taste great.  So I decided on Sunday to make my Husband this bread as a surprise.  I even tried to make it heart shape, but that didn’t turn out so well.


I added two tablespoons of caraway seeds in the bread, but next time I think I will add three.  Other than that, that’s the only thing I would change.   I can’t wait to make grilled  cheese sandwich with the bread.  Oh and the calorie count is 104 calories a slice, but I honestly think it’s less.  I put 12 slices per loaf, but I think you can get more like 17, so that’s a big calorie difference.  Double bonus!!!

Rye Bread – Adapted from All Recipes

Ingredients:

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees), divided

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoon caraway seed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons salt

2 1/2 cups rye flour (I bought mine in the bulk dept. at Whole Foods)

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.

Add brown sugar, caraway, oil, salt and remaining water; mix well.

Stir in rye flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down; divide in half.

Shape each half into a ball; place in two greased 8-in. round cake pans.

Flatten balls to a 6-in. diameter. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes 2 loafs, about : 24 slices total

Calories per slice:  104,  Fat:  .09,  Sodium:  195,  Potassium:  48,  Carbs:  22,  Fiber:  2,  Sugar:  3.1,  Protein:  2.4

NOTE:  I think you can get way more than 12 slices per loaf

After work instead of exercising, I decided to do some yard work and get my garden prepped for the spring season.  Do you have a garden?  I have a little area in my yard that I fenced off so I can have a vegetable garden.  Last year I had 5 tomato plants and they went insane.  The one plant was a Bog Boy and he grew out and up over 6′, not smart since he was in the center of my garden and totally took over.  So this year I decided on 3 tomato plants.  I’m thinking a cherry tomato, plum tomato and a beef steak.  I also plan on growing cucumbers and honey bear acorn squash and of course peppers.  I bought an Italian Pepper plant last year and it was so good, sweet and the size of a pablano pepper.  There perfect for stuffing and roasting.  I can’t wait to get my garden going.  So expect lots of vegetable recipes this summer.  Can you believe I am thinking summer?

Well I am signing off for the night.  Time to do dishes, maybe get some form of exercise in and just relax the rest of my evening.  I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!  Oh and this weekend, plan to make some fresh bread.  Make two loaves, and freeze one.  Pre-slice it before you freeze it so you can just take one out of the freezer and pop it in the toaster.  No need to de-frost.  Ok, I said my bread piece peace.  Have a great day!!!

    I love baking bread…never tried rye before. Can’t wait to try, and I’m liking the nutritional stats.

      I was thrilled when I calculated the stats on it. I am even betting some flax seed in it would be great to, mix it with the caraway seeds.

    I completely agree-it IS hard to find a good Rye bread in CA!!! I have been wanted to try out some recipes (even have rye flour in my pantry) but I can’t find those darn caraway seeds ANYWHERE! Where did you get them? 🙂 Your bread looks beautiful, great job!

      Hi, My Husband said he bought them from Safeway. But try Cost Plus too. They have a great section of herbs and spices. I just checked the San Francisco Herb Company and they have them. I love this place, there herbs and spices are cheap and are great quality! Plus fast delivery or even pick-up at the store. I think there located in SF near the Bay Bridge. Here’s the link. http://www.sfherb.com/store/SearchStoreResults.asp

    Looks like a wonderful rye bread! 🙂 I like rye better than wheat, myself, and I like it crusty!

      I love it crusty too. I think next time I may put some egg wash on top before cooking, to see if it turns out crusty!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
