Special Sourdough Rye - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sourdough starter
1 1/2 c. warm water
3 c. flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. salad oil
2 tsp. caraway seed
1/2 tsp. aniseed
2 c. rye flour

grated rind of 1 large orange

Preparation

Mix a sponge of first 4 ingredients.
To this sponge add remaining ingredients.
Set in a warm place for 8 to 24 hours, depending on the sourness desired.
An ideal place to set this sponge would be by a pilot light.
Dough should be frothy.
Stir well.
Turn out on a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, adding an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour a little at a time, as dough becomes sticky.
Shape into 2 loaves (oval or round) and place on a greased cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
Set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk.
Brush with 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water.
Slash tops of loaves with a sharp knife.
Bake in 375\u00b0 oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pans immediately and cool before cutting.
