Pan de centeno rápido

Ingredientes

• 500 g dark rye flour
• 10 g salt
• 50 g rye flakes, plus extra for sprinkling (optional)
• 10 g fast-action dried yeast
• 1 tbsp runny honey
• plain flour, for dusting
• olive oil, for oiling

Preparación

1. 1

   Put the rye flour, salt, rye flakes, yeast and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Slowly pour in 350ml of water and knead for 5 minutes on medium speed until the dough comes together.

2. 2

   Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Lightly flour your work surface, then tip out the dough and use your hands to knock out the air. Shape it into a rectangle and place it in the lined loaf tin. Sprinkle with a few extra rye flakes, if you wish. Cover with cling film and leave to prove for 45 minutes. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6.

4. 4

   Bake the loaf for 35–40 minutes until risen and golden. Run a knife around the sides of the tin to loosen the loaf, and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
