Soak 100 mils of whole rye grains in boiling water for about 2 hours.

Mix all dry ingredients together with the yeast.

Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of honey to the dry mixture.

Slowly incorporate 800 mils of lukewarm water while stirring to combine.

Bring the dough together with your hands until it is sticky and difficult to work.

Add a little extra flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the bowl.

Cover the dough with a warm wet cloth and let it rise for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead slightly.

Divide the dough into two halves and roll them into long sausages.

Cut the sausages into triangles using a dough scraper.

Allow the bread to proof again for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the middle of the oven at 325°F for 10 to 15 minutes, checking for a hollow sound when tapped.
