Directions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Mix in the salt, rye flour, bread flour, and caraway seeds (if using) into the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Make a few shallow slashes on top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade German Bread!
