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 tends to be extra sticky. To make kneading easier without adding too much flour, which can dry out the loaf, try working with slightly wet hands and using a bench scraper to fold the dough. For a flavor boost, add a handful of walnuts or caraway seeds to the dough. Kids can help brush the loaf with water and sprinkle oats on top for a rustic, appetizing look.
