Assemble all the ingredients.
- 2
Put the bread flour, rye flour, potato flakes, caraway seeds, demerara sugar, yeast, and sea salt into the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Set the mixer to low and mix the dry ingredients thoroughly. Beat the warm water, canola oil, and pickle juice into the dry mixture.
- 3
Switch to the dough hook attachment and beat until the dough looks rough and shaggy. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for exactly 30 minutes.
- 4
Remove the plastic wrap and knead with the dough hook until the dough is smooth, firm, and only slightly sticky, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- 5
Shape the dough into a ball. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn it to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set it in a warm place, and let it rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.
- 6
Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Turn the dough onto a lightly oiled surface, shape it into a log, and place it in the prepared loaf pan. Cover with a cloth kitchen towel and let it rise until the top of the dough has risen slightly over the rim of the pan, 60 to 90 minutes.
- 7
Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the loaf in the preheated oven until golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes. The internal temperature of the bread should be 190 degrees F (90 degrees C). If the loaf browns too fast, cover it loosely with a tent of aluminum foil with the shiny side facing out.
- 8
Remove the loaf from the pan and cool it on a wire rack.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
