Darnitsa Bread

Stir the starter, warm water, molasses, and oil together until smooth.

Add rye flour, bread flour, salt, and caraway if using, then mix into a sticky dough.

Knead or fold until the wheat flour gives the dough some strength, keeping the dough slightly tacky.

Let rise until expanded, shape into a loaf, and proof in a pan or basket.

Bake until the crust is firm and brown, then cool completely before slicing.
