As far as deli was concerned, for me,?sandwiches of corned beef or beef tongue piled high on Jewish rye bread with mustard and a kosher dill pickle on the side just couldn&#8217;t be beat.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted to recreate the Jewish rye bread of my youth but with some minor &#8220;upgrades&#8221;.? Firstly, I&#8217;ve always thought that the rye taste?was terribly overpowered by the flavor of the added caraway seeds.? So instead of?baking a light rye, which is typically 10-15% rye flour (baker&#8217;s percentage), I decided to go with a heartier?40% rye and cut back on the?caraway seeds.? Secondly,?the crust on a typical Jewish rye?can tend to be rubbery with?little flavor.? The?deeply flavored, crackly-crisp crust (how&#8217;s that for alliteration?) of a hearth-baked loaf?is what is needed here.<\/p>\n<p>The formula below is a modification of the 40%?Caraway Rye described in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bread-Bakers-Book-Techniques-Recipes\/dp\/0471168572\/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1218334186&amp;sr=8-5\" target=\"_blank\">Bread: A Baker&#8217;s Book of Techniques and Recipes<\/a>.?

Add the salt and continue hand mixing until the dough?reaches medium development, about 10-15 minutes.? Add the caraway seeds and hand mix?just until evenly distributed within the dough.? Place the dough in a lightly oiled container, cover, and let ferment at 78-80?F for 1 hour.? Divide the dough into 1 1\/2 lb. pieces, lightly round and let rest under a plastic sheet for 10 minutes.?

After 15 minutes, remove the steaming cover,?turn the oven down to 425?F and bake for an additional 20 minutes.? Remove from the oven and let cool before you slather slices with mustard and build overstuffed?sandwiches filled with your favorite deli meat.???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a young boy growing up in Brooklyn, NY, it was always a rare treat to enjoy a meal?at one of the many area?restaurants.? ?I remember particularly looking forward to eating at?the local pizzeria (hence my attempt at recreating New York-style pizza), the not-so-local Chinese restaurant (my foray into Chinese cuisine can be the topic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[26,25],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":315,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions\/315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.breadcetera.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
