Bread in a bread maker
Description
The "signature" flavor of this bread comes from a combination of rye and wheat flour, as well as the use of malt, molasses, and caraway seeds. To make "Riga" bread in a bread machine at home, you'll need the same ingredients, but the process, believe us, won't cause any trouble even for a beginner: 1. Pour three tablespoons of boiling water over the malt. Let it cool completely. 2. Put all ingredients into the bread machine pan. 3. Turn on the machine and select the "Pizza" kneading program. 4. Turn off the bread machine and let the dough rise for about an hour and a half (do not open the lid!). 5. Turn on the bread machine again—select the "Riga Bread" mode. According to GOST standards, this bread is baked in a loaf shape, so if you wish to follow tradition, after the second kneading is complete, remove the dough from the pan and shape it accordingly with wet hands. 6. Grind the caraway seeds in a mortar. 7. Brush the surface with warm milk, prick it with a thin wooden stick or fork, and sprinkle with the ground caraway seeds. 8. Select the "Baking" program. 9. Let the finished bread cool under a clean towel. Serve warm—with soups, main dishes, appetizers, or simply with butter. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
