  3. In a separate bowl, mix the rye sourdough pre-dough with warm water and honey/molasses.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients with the sourdough mixture until all ingredients are very well mixed, 5-10 minutes. You can use your hands or a wooden spoon, etc. The dough is sticky and like a paste, so you don't need to knead it like you would other breads.

  12. Bake for about 30-45 minutes (my oven is pretty weak so it takes 45 minutes. For the last 10-15 minutes, remove the lid of the pot so the crust can get a nice color.
  13. Let cool for a few hours or up to half a day until slicing. this will let the flavors of the bread develop further.
