7 steps
  1. 01

    Warm the water until lukewarm and dissolve the fresh yeast in it.

  2. 02

    Stir in the sour milk and dark syrup.

  3. 03

    In a separate bowl, mix the rye flour, malt flour, salt, and baking soda.

  4. 04

    Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir into a very thick, sticky dough. Cover and let it stand in a warm place until slightly puffed.

  5. 05

    Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 23 x 13 cm (9 x 5-inch) loaf pan with the unsalted butter.

  6. 06

    Scrape the dough into the pan, smooth the top with a wet spoon, and bake for 75 to 90 minutes, until the loaf is firm and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers at least 93°C (199°F).

  7. 07

    Cool the bread completely before slicing so the crumb can set.
