Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh yeast
3 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups rye flour (coarsely ground)
1 cup wheat bran (or 1 cup wheat germ)
3 1/3 lbs all-purpose flour (you need more)

Directions

1

Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Mix the dry ingredients in a big bowl. Add oil and the yeast mix. Knead the dough well. You will probably have to add (quite a bit) more wheat to get the right consistency. Cover it and leave it to rise to twice its original size in a warm place. Knead the dough, and shape into 4 round loaves. Leave them to rise for about 30 minutes.
2

Put them in the oven at 425* for 35-50 minutes.
3

I usually add 1 teaspoons sugar to the dry ingredients. I also add sesame seed, rolled oats, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and/or wheat germ.
