Mixed rye bread

Knead all ingredients in a bowl until the dough pulls away from the bowl. If using wholemeal or bran flour, add up to 100 ml more water. Then form a ball or loaf, place on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, and cover and let rise in a warm place until it has roughly doubled in size. (This can take 2-6 hours depending on the temperature, type of flour, and sourdough starch.) Preheat the oven to 200°C. Insert the baking tray and bake for about 60 minutes. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped (or when no dough sticks to a skewer inserted and removed). After baking, let it cool on a wire rack.
