For a richer flavor, try substituting half of the warm water with milk. If coarse ground rye flour is unavailable, cream of rye cereal can be used as a substitute. The rising times may vary depending on the temperature of your environment. Be patient and allow the dough to fully double in size for the best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it bloom until foamy, approximately 5 minutes.
02
StepIncorporate the whole wheat flour, rye flour, and salt. Gradually add the bread flour, about 1 cup at a time, mixing until the dough is no longer sticky. (10 minutes)
03
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, around 10 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
04
StepGently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 4 or 5 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest, covered, until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.
05
StepPlace each ball onto a baking sheet and flatten it into an oval shape, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of each flatbread. Let them rise again until almost doubled, 20 to 30 minutes.
06
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
07
StepBake the flatbreads in the preheated oven until golden brown on both the top and bottom, about 20 minutes. While the flatbreads are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter.
