Corned Beef Rye Bread Recipes

Steps:

• preheat oven to 400F.
• Slice bread into 20 pieces. If using a 1.5 loaf, slice into 3/4" to 1" slices and cut those in half.
• Mix all other ingredients in a bowl.
• Place about 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture onto each piece of bread and place on a baking sheet either oiled or lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 12 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned in spots. Broiling is good, also, but be careful not to burn or over brown.
• Cool and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
• Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
• Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

Steps:

• The starter must be made 48-72 hours in advance. Combine yeast and 1 c tepid water. Beat in 1 c rye flour. Add onion, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Remove onion. Beat in remaining water and rye flour. Cover and let stand at room temperature another 24 hours. It may be used at this point, or refrigerated up to another 24 hours.
• Combine 1/4 c warm water, yeast and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes until foamy.
• In work bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, dissolve salt in remaining warm water. Stir down sourdough starter and remove 1/2 cup (see head note). Mix remaining starter into salt water, then add yeast mixture. Add high-gluten flour and 1 c all-purpose flour; if using, add caraway seeds. Mix to form a soft dough.
• Add remaining flour and knead until dough is soft and slightly sticky (either in the mixer or by hand). Do not overknead; the dough should not be very elastic. Form into a ball and place in an ungreased bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
• Punch down, knead briefly and let stand 15 minutes. Form into a 12" oval, turning the edges in toward the center to form a smooth outer surface. Pinch the seam to seal and place seam-side down on a baking sheet coated with cornmeal. Cover with a damp towel and let rise until almost double, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place quarry tiles or baking stone in top 1/3 of oven, and an empty roasting pan in the bottom third. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Beat egg white with water and brush over surface of loaf. Slash loaf with a very sharp knife 2 or 3 times. Sprinkle with additional caraway seeds if desired. Place loaf on tiles and toss 4 cups of ice cubes into the hot roasting pan. Bake 30 minutes. Brush loaf with more egg white glaze and bake another 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place the brisket in the center of a roasting pan. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the sides. Place the onion and garlic on top of the roast, and season with salt and pepper. Empty the seasoning packet over the roast, and pour enough water into the pan to almost cover the potatoes. Cover with a lid or heavy aluminum foil.
• Roast for 5 to 6 hours in the preheated oven, until the roast is so tender it can be flaked apart with a fork.
