Method
Soak the rye flour type 2000 with Bioferm Dark in 60% of the water 3 hours before making the dough.
Pour hot water over the raisins and leave for about 1 hour, then drain on a sieve before adding to the dough.
Add the remaining ingredients (except the raisins) to the soaked flour and mix for 8 minutes on low speed and 3 minutes on high speed. Dough temperature: 28-30°C.
Leave the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
Add the drained raisins and mix briefly on low speed until well combined with the dough.
Initial fermentation of the dough: 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 660 g pieces, shape, roll in sesame seeds and place in tins.
Final proofing: about 50 minutes.
Bake for about 45 minutes at 250°C falling to 220°C, with steam in the oven; release the steam after about 5 minutes of baking.
