Instructions
1Tip the flours, yeast and salt into a bowl. In a jug, mix the honey with 250ml warm water, pour the liquid into the bowl and mix to form a dough. Rye flour can be quite dry and absorbs lots of water, if the dough looks too dry add more warm water until you have a soft dough Tip out onto your work surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth.

Chef tips
Rye dough is often particularly sticky. To make kneading easier without adding too much flour—which can dry out the bread—try working with slightly damp hands and using a dough scraper for folding. For extra flavour, add a handful of walnuts or caraway seeds. Children can help by brushing the loaf with water and scattering over some oats for a lovely rustic appearance.
