King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking
by King Arthur Flour
This light-textured, orange and spice-scented rye loaf is a favorite among Scandinavians. It's especially delightful toasted and spread with sweet butter, or butter and orange marmalade.
Yield: 1 (8-inch) round loaf, 16 servings
Baking Temperature: 350°F
Baking Time: 35 to 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS
Pre-ferment
• 1 cup (4 ounces) traditional whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cool water
• Pinch of instant yeast

Dough
• All of the pre-ferment
• 1/3 cup (2 5/8 ounces) orange juice, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) lukewarm water
• 1/4 cup (3 ounces) molasses
• 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces
• 1 cup (3 3/4 ounces) whole rye (pumpernickel) flour
• 1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) nonfat dry milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons each caraway seeds, fennel seeds and anise seeds
• Grated zest of 1 medium orange (about 2 1/2 teaspoons)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast


DIRECTIONS
To Prepare The Pre-Ferment: Mix the pre-ferment ingredients in a small (2- to 3-cup) bowl, cover the bowl, and let rest overnight at room temperature.

To Prepare The Dough: Combine all the ingredients including the pre-ferment and mix and knead them—by hand, mixer or bread machine—until you have a soft, smooth dough. Cover and allow the dough to rise until it's puffy, though not doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours. Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan.

Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, and center it in the prepared pan. Cover with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow it to rise until it's nearly filled the pan, edge to edge, and has domed to about 1 inch higher than the rim of the pan in the center, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Toward the end of the rise, preheat the oven to 350°F.

To Bake The Bread: Uncover and bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting it with foil after 20 minutes. The bread is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 190°F. Remove it from the oven, and after a minute or so turn it out onto a rack. Cool the bread for 30 minutes before slicing.
