Easy-to-make rye soda bread bursting with hearty flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats
  • 2.5 teaspoons caraway seeds, divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1.25 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1.75 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Combine sunflower seeds, oats, caraway seeds, and poppy seeds in a small bowl. Reserve for later.
  • In a large bowl, mix 2 teaspoons caraway seeds, rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Create a well in the center and pour in 1 3/4 cups buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts coming together. Knead briefly in the bowl until no dry spots are left.
  • Place the dough on the baking sheet, shaping it into a round loaf. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands to help shape it. Cut a deep cross on top with a sharp knife, then brush with 1 tablespoon of buttermilk. Sprinkle the seed-oat mixture all over the top and into the cracks.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown on top and bottom. Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the dish is ready. Let it cool completely before slicing.
