RUSSIAN BREAD RECIPES

These Russian Bread Recipes have a nice crisp crust and soft cake-like texture; unlike any other dark bread you may have tried. This is wonderful with onion powder. Just add 2 teaspoons to the mix. You may also use molasses instead of dark corn syrup. Let's get baking this beauty.

HOMEMADE RUSSIAN BLACK BREAD

1-1/2 cups warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 TBS homemade brown sugar, packed

2 TBS homemade cider vinegar
2-1/2 cups flour
1 cup rye flour
1 tsp salt
2 TBS butter, melted
2 TBS dark corn syrup
3 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp instant coffee granules
2 tsp caraway seed

1 egg white, beaten
kosher salt

Dissolve yeast and brown sugar in the warm water. Let sit for 20 minutes to proof the yeast.

Sift the flour, then measure, and sift with salt and cocoa powder. Beat butter, vinegar, corn syrup and coffee granules until granules are dissolved. Add caraway seed and proofed yeast mixture. Add flour mixture and stir well. Turn out on a floured surface and knead thoroughly, mixing in as little flour as possible.

Place in a greased bowl and grease the top of the dough. Cover and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. Punch down and form it into a large round loaf, and cut deep "vents" in a star pattern across the top. Brush egg white on top of the loaf and sprinkle with coarse salt. Baked for about 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
