2
packages active dry yeast  
cups warm water, 105 F to 115 F  
to 9 cups of dark rye flour  
teaspoons salt (optional)  
Additional flour for shaping  
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add 2 cups rye  
flour and beat to make a smooth mixture. Sprinkle the top of the  
dough with 1 cup of rye flour. Cover tightly and let stand in a  
warm place for 24 hours.  
The second day, add 2 cups of the rye flour, stir, and let stand  
2
4 hours more. Stir in the salt and the final amount of flour,  
but do not exceed nine cups. Knead, by hand or in a heavy duty  
mixer, for 30 minutes.  
The dough should be very sticky. With damp hands and a dough  
scraper, shape the dough into a ball and place in the bowl again.  
Sprinkle with just enough flour to make the top of the dough dry.  
Let rise 1−1/2 hours in a warm place.
