How To Make Rye Black Russian Bread

• Mix the sourdough, flour and water well to prepare a solid starter yeast. When the pre-yeast rises 3 times and becomes active, knead the dough. (It may take 5-10 hours for the pre-yeast to activate, depending on the room temperature and the strength of your yeast.)
• For coffee water, first add the coffee and then the other ingredients into the hot water and mix.
• Put the cumin, coriander and fennel in a preheated pan, roast them for 2 minutes and then beat them in the mortar.
• Mix the roasted cumin, coriander and fennel with the flour.
• Then add the pre-yeast and coffee water, knead until a smooth dough and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
• Add 10 g of salt and melt it in a bowl. Pour the salt water you have prepared on the dough and knead it for 10 minutes and leave it to ferment for 8-10 hours in a cool room. (Do not put it in the fridge)
• When the dough you have left to ferment is almost double folded, gently fold it with your wet hands and let it rest for 1 more hour.
• Place a cloth in the dough leavening basket and flour with whole wheat flour.
• Lightly flour the top of the dough and turn it into a flour sprinkled wood. Give the dough a round shape by applying a little oil on your hand and take it to the leavening basket with the smooth side at the bottom.
• After sifting the flour on it, close it with a bag so that it does not touch the dough and leave to ferment for 2-3 hours at room temperature. >
• Heat the oven with a cast iron pan for 30 minutes at 240 degrees.
• Turn the dough into a hot pan and draw it and cook it in the oven for 30 minutes by closing the lid of the pan.
• After 30 minutes, open the lid of the pot and cook for another 30 minutes until the bread is browned.
• Place your bread on the wire rack and let it cool. Slice and serve after cooling.
