Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a bowl.

Pour in 1 cup of scalded milk and 1 cup of boiled water.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of brown sugar and mix.

Add granulated yeast and let it sit until foamy.

Weigh 3 cups of all-purpose flour (about 375 grams) and add to the mixture.

Mix thoroughly until no lumps remain and the dough is hydrated.

Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Add rye flour until the dough is stiff enough to knead, about half a cup.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough rise again for about 1 hour.

Shape the dough into two loaves and place in a greased loaf pan.

Let the loaves rise for over an hour and a half until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 190-195°F.
