My mom loves the Prince Edward County rye bread from Stonemill Bakery, but it's expensive and hard to find. I made her *my* version based off a German country loaf recipe - tangy with yoghurt and sourdough starter, hearty with Red Fife, dark rye, oats and sunflower seeds and crusty from a multi-temperature baking process.

How to make it
- Mix flours, oats, salt, caraway and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- Add the milk, vinegar, yoghurt and starter and mix 2 minutes. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
- Add the seeds and mix until dough forms a slightly sticky ball, adding water if needed.
- Continue kneading for 7 minutes on low speed.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then knead again for 1 minute on medium speed.
- Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board and form into an oval loaf. Roll in oatmeal.
- Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet or cardboard, mist with oil and let rise until doubled.
- Heat oven to 500°F for 1 hour prior to baking. If you have one, place a baking stone on the middle rack while heating. Place a shallow pan on the bottom rack.
- Slash the top with a sharp razor blade or lamé at least ¼” deep.
- Place the bread on the middle rack and pour 2 cups of hot water into the old pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, spraying the sides of the oven with water after two and seven minutes.
- Turn oven down to 450°F and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 15 minutes, or until a thermometer measures 190-200°F or loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove and let cool completely before slicing.
