For the wholemeal rye bread, mix all dry ingredients. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water.
Mix all ingredients and knead for about 8 minutes. Cover and let rest for about 1/2 hour. Shape the dough into an oblong roll. Place end down in a loaf pan. Let rise again for about 1/2 hour.
Heat the oven to 240 °C with a fireproof vessel. Add water to the hot vessel to create enough steam. After the rising time, put the bread in the loaf pan and reduce the heat to 180 °C. Bake for 50-55 minutes.
Turn out wholemeal rye bread onto a rack and let cool well.
