  3. Make a well in the rye flour and add the dissolved yeast and the remainder of the tepid water into this.
  4. Knead together for about 20 minutes until smooth then leave to rise for 2 hours in a warm place.
  5. Knead the dough lightly then make a round loaf and leave it to rise with the folded side rather than the smooth side facing up.
