  1. After the dough has doubled in size, place the dough onto your countertop.
  2. Next, press down on the dough until it has slightly flattened.
  3. Then, pull one side of the dough up and fold it over (almost as if you were folding a piece of paper into thirds).
  4. Next, take the other side of the dough and fold it over to meet the first side.
  5. Then, place the folded Sourdough Rye Sandwich Bread dough into a large, loaf pan.
  6. Finally, cover the loaf pan with a tea towel or plastic wrap and allow it to rise for an additional 12-24 hours.

Finally, this is after 24 hours of rising time (the bread on the right was a smaller loaf in a larger pan, which is why it looks less than the loaf on the left).

Bake the Sourdough Rye Sandwich Bread

  1. First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Next, remove the plastic wrap (if used) or tea towel.
  3. Once the oven is heated, place the loaf pan of Sourdough Rye Sandwich Bread dough into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes.
    • If the bread is browning too fast, you can always lay a sheet of aluminum foil on top to keep the crust from burning.
  4. Next, remove the bread from the oven once it is fully baked.
  5. Then, carefully remove it from the loaf pan (it should slide out easily)
  6. Next, allow the bread to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes) prior to slicing it. This will help the Sourdough air pockets continue to form which creates a light, airy, and tender bread.
  7. Finally, using a Serrated knife, carefully slice the Sourdough Rye Sandwich Bread and enjoy!

Notes

The longer you allow this dough to rise, the more tender it will be. Furthermore, you will have that "sour" taste from the Sourdough Starter. If you do not have time to wait for the dough to rise on its own, try the Instant Pot Dough Rise Method.
