Preparation steps
Mix rye flour, rye wholemeal and whole wheat flour in a bowl and create a well in the middle. Pour yeast into the well, mix with molasses and 150 ml (approximately 5 ounces) of lukewarm water. Add sourdough, bread seasoning and salt. Add about 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) of water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let rest about 1 hour.
Oil the loaf pan with vegetable oil.
Knead dough well on a floured work surface well and shape into an oblong loaf. Place dough into the oiled loaf pan. Let rest for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Sprinkle dough with water and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 40-50 minutes.
Remove bread from oven and allow to cool briefly before removing from the loaf pan. Remove bread from loaf pan and leave to cool.
