     Title: Borodinsky Bread
Categories: Bread, Russian
     Yield: 1 Loaf

   150 g  Wheat flour (1-1/4 c)
   100 g  Rye flour (3/4 c)
   220 ml Wateri (1 c); approximate
     7 g  Yeast powder (1/4 oz)
    20 g  Rye malt powder (3/4 oz)
     1 tb Sunflower oil
     1 tb Honey
     1 ts Salt
     1 ts Coriander powder
          Coriander seeds

 To start making Borodinsky bread, first mix all the dry ingredients.
 In a large bowl mix wheat and rye flour, yeast powder, salt and
 coriander powder.

 Then, add the star of the show: Russian rye malt powder that gives the
 bread that special flavor, and stir the mixture one more time.

 Next, mix lukewarm water with honey, and pour into the dry mixture;
 also add 1 tb of sunflower oil. Knead the dough: it should be quite
 sticky, thick but still elastic. Be sure not to overdo the water: you
 may need more or less depending on the flour you use.

 Grease your hands with some oil if the dough feels too sticky; this
 makes it easier to work. Put the dough in a large clean bowl, cover
 with plastic wrap and leave in a warm corner for 1 hour.

 When the dough doubles in size, punch it down and put in a loaf form
 greased with oil. Leave for another 30 minutes to let the dough rise.

 Then, mix some flour with water and cover the surface of the dough
 with this whitish liquid; generously sprinkle with coriander seeds.

 Bake borodinsky bread at 210°C/425°F for 30 minutes; lower the
 temperature to 180°C/350°F and bake for another 30 minutes Let the
 bread cool down completely, and enjoy.
