-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Skim milk
1/2 cup Warm (110 F.) water
1 tablespoon Lard or unsalted butter
1 package Dry yeast
1/2 cup Water
1 cup Rye flour
2 teaspoon Sugar + a pinch
1 cup Gluten flour
1 tablespoon Salt
2 3/4 cup A/P flour -- or as needed
-----GLAZE-----
1 Egg white beaten with:
1 tablespoon Water
-----TOPPING-----
4 teaspoon Caraway seeds
4 teaspoon Coarse (kosher) salt
In sauce pan, heat together the skim milk, lard or butter, water, salt, and
2 tsp. sugar until fat melts. Let cool to 110 F. in large. bowl of elec.
mixer. Meanwhile, combine warm water, pn. of sugar and yeast and let work
till foamy, about. 10 min., then add to skim milk mixture.
Mix in a bowl the gluten flour, rye flour and 2 3/4 c. A/P flour. Add 2
cups of the mixed flours to yeast mixture and beat for 5 min. on low speed.
Add remaining flour gradually, scraping the dough onto a floured board and
kneading when the dough becomes too stiff to beat. Knead until very smooth,
using add'tl A/P flour as needed to make a med. stiff dough.
Form dough into ball and turn in buttered bowl. Turn buttered side up,
cover with plastic, and let rise till doubled in bulk, about. 1 hr. Punch
dough down, turn onto working surface, and divide into 4 pieces. Let pieces.
rest, covered with towel for 5 min.
Roll each pc. into 10" round. Cut into 8 wedges, then roll each tightly
from the wide end to the point, stretching and elongating the dough as you
roll. Place on parchment-covered or lightly greased baking sheet (14 x 17)
with point of each roll underneath, leaving about. 1 1/2" between salt
sticks. Continue till all dough is rolled. You will fill 2 sheets.
Let sticks rise, covered, to 3/4 proof. Preheat oven to 400 F. When
proofed, brush with glaze and sprinkle with seeds and salt.
Bake on upper and lower racks of oven for 5 min., then swap sheets and turn
end for end so browning is even. Bake 3 min. more, then reduce heat to 250
F. and bake about. 15 min. more until all are even golden brown with no
white spots on sides. Cool on racks. May be frozen; to freshen, bake in
350 F. oven for 10 min.
