Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 450 grams strong white bread flour
  • 50 grams rye flour (plus extra for kneading/dusting)
  • 7 grams fast-action dried yeast
  • 1 tsp Icelandic lava salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds
  • 325 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 tbsp black treacle
  • 20 grams cuttlefish ink
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instruction

  • Place the flours, yeast, caraway seeds and salt in a large bowl and mix together.
  • Add the treacle, cuttlefish ink and olive oil to the water and stir well until everything is dissolved.
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour, pour in the liquid and stir with a wooden spoon until it begins to come together.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface (use rye flour for this) and knead well for ten minutes, adding enough rye flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Place into a large, greased bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size - between 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat your pizza steel or bread baking stone in the oven at 200 C.
  • Punch down the bread dough , knead and cut into four even pieces.
  • Form into bread rolls and place on a baking tray. Leave to rise for a further half an hour.
  • Dust with extra rye flour, score the tops of the bread and bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Cover the warm bread with a tea towel to allow the steam to soften the crusts. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
