2 c Rye flour

1 3/4 c Warm water

1 pk Yeast

1/2 tb Caraway seeds

-----------------------------------BREAD----------------------------------- 2 c Rye sour

1/4 c Water

1/2 pk Dry yeast

1/2 tb Salt

2 c Bread flour

1/2 Egg

1/2 tb Caraway seeds

For the starter: Put onions in cheese cloth. Mix remaining ingredients, submerge cheese cloth into it, and let sit overnight (in bread pan). In the morning, remove the onions. There should be 2 cups of starter in the pan -- just what we need. Add remaining ingredients -- use up to 1/4 cup more flour if needed to get the dough ball to the right consistency. Also the 1/4 cup water should be added slowly, using judgment. About 20 minutes

before baking slash the top and brush with the egg beaten with 1 tbs of water and sprinkle with caraway seeds. ~--
