Danish rye bread, or rugbr\u00f8d, is one of the best-known types of rye bread from that region. Looking like a brick and full of wholegrain goodness, Danish rye is ideal for making sm\u00f8rrebr\u00f8d open sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>Rye bread is one of my favourite bread types. I love the heartiness and the earthy taste of dark rye bread. Dense and filling, rye bread leaves you satisfied after only a slice or two.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">What are the ingredients for Danish sourdough Rugbr\u00f8d?<\/h2>\n<p>Danish rugbr\u00f8d, as its name tells us, is made with <strong>rye flour<\/strong> (rug = rye, br\u00f8d = bread). You also need an active <strong>sourdough starter<\/strong>, <strong>sunflower seeds<\/strong>, <strong>pumpkin seeds<\/strong>, <strong>linseeds\/flaxseed,<\/strong> <strong>kibbled (cracked) rye or rye berries<\/strong> (optional), <strong>molasses<\/strong>, <strong>beer<\/strong> <strong>or water<\/strong>, and <strong>salt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Seeds and rye berries or rye flakes are soaked and added to the wet, sticky fermented dough. The mixture is scraped into a heavy-duty bread baking tin and baked for at least one hour.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">Is Danish Rugbr\u00f8d difficult to make?<\/h2>\n<p>Making rugbr\u00f8d doesn\u2019t require any special kneading or folding techniques like wheat sourdough bread. Rye flour has a lower gluten content than wheat flour, so rye dough is not as elastic and springy as wheat, but rather sticky and has the consistency of thick porridge. There is no need for stretching and folding or kneading the dough. A sturdy mixing spoon is all you need to make this bread.<\/p>\n<p>However, making Danish rye requires time. That\u2019s why I have simplified my danish rye bread recipe so everyone can have a go.<\/p>\n<p>The most difficult part for me is to leave the loaf alone after baking to set for 24 hours or at least overnight! I have the urge to break off a chunk and taste it as it cools down.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make Danish Rye Dough<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-2.jpg\" alt=\"Making Danish Rye Sourdough (Rugbr\u00f8d)\" class=\"wp-image-3137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-2.jpg 680w, https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><\/figure>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First, you need to build your levain and soak the seeds.<\/strong> Seeds can be raw or roasted. If you\u2019re using rye berries, these need to be soaked, too. Combine flour, liquid, sourdough stater and seeds in one bowl to simplify the process (top left picture) and make a sponge that ferments for about 8 hours.<\/li>\n<li>In my recipe, <strong>soaked rye berries are optional<\/strong>, so I add them separately. Drain the berries well before adding to the sponge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the rest of the flours and salt to the sponge to make the final dough<\/strong> (bottom right). You should be able to mix the dough with a sturdy spoon and it should hold the shape when formed into a ball. Cover and let it ferment for one to two hours, depending on the temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scrape the dough into a bread tin<\/strong>, sprinkle with flour or seeds and let rise for another hour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">What size bread tin to use?<\/h2>\n<p>Traditional Danish rye bread is made with 100% rye flour, however, I add some wheat flour so the loaf is raising slightly more. Plus, if I add soaked cracked rye kernels or berries, listed as optional in my recipe, the loaf rises above the rim. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t use a baking tin with a lid on my pan.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>heavy-duty bread pan <\/strong>I use is <strong>28x10x10 cm<\/strong> or <strong>10.5x4x4 inches<\/strong>. It\u2019s slightly taller than a 9x4x4 Pullman loaf tin.<\/p>\n<p>Light, nonstick baking tins need to be buttered or lined with baking paper before you scrape the dough in to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">Baking Danish Rye Bread<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dannish-rye-bread.jpg\" alt=\"Baking Danish Rye Bread (Rugbr\u00f8d)\" class=\"wp-image-3138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dannish-rye-bread.jpg 680w, https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dannish-rye-bread-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Baking danish rye bread can be slightly challenging as it differs from baking other sourdough loaves. Danish rugbr\u00f8d is baked at a lower temperature than typical for sourdough and for a longer time. Knocking would not be the best guide for doneness as it doesn\u2019t sound hollow.<\/p>\n<p>The best indicator that the loaf is baked is the internal temperature of the bread. The temperature of a baked rugbr\u00f8d should reach <strong>98 \u2013 100\u00b0 C (208 \u2013 212 F).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned above, the loaf needs to be wrapped in a tea towel and put in a bread bin once it\u2019s cooled down completely. The crumb needs to set properly before cutting or the bread will end up gummy and look underbaked.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you freeze Danish rye?<\/h2>\n<p>Absolutely! Cut into thin slices first, then freeze. That way you can take out a few slices at a time. Thin slices of rye bread can be put directly into a toaster.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help! My Danish rye is rubbery\/uncooked in the middle.<\/h2>\n<p>The problem could be one of the following three issues:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The dough hydration was too high<\/strong> \u2013 Seeds and flours absorb different amounts of liquid. When the final dough is mixed, it should hold the shape when a ball is formed. The wet dough doesn\u2019t hold the shape and more flour is needed to balance excess liquid and lower hydration. Soaked kibbled rye or rye berries add extra water to the dough, too. If not drained properly, that can push hydration up. Deduct 50-60 ml of the water for the sponge to lower overall hydration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The loaf\u2019s required inner temperature wasn\u2019t reached <\/strong>\u2013 Rather than relying on the time, the inner temperature of the loaf is a better indicator of doneness. Once the temperature reaches around 100\u00b0 C, the loaf is baked. How long it takes depends on the oven, the baking tin and the dough hydration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The loaf was cut too soon<\/strong> \u2013 As mentioned above, once baked, Danish sourdough rye needs to cool down completely and be left to set for at least 12-24 hours. It is tempting to taste it as soon as it\u2019s baked. I have to admit, I\u2019ve done it before. Wrap the loaf and leave it to set for 24 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you discover a problem with the rubbery or gooey bread, it\u2019s too late to bake it further. The best way to rectify the issue is to toast the slices and make a note in your recipe for next time. Stick with the same amount and type of seeds and flour so you can compare the result.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-3147\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"3147\" data-servings=\"0\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-template3\">\n<div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-500x500.jpg\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/makebread.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/danish-rye-sourdough-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Danish Sourdough Rye Bread (Rugbr\u00f8d)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"display: block;\">Danish rye bread, rugbr\u00f8d, is one of the best-known types of rye bread from Northern Europe.
