Mix the rye flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
Add the buttermilk and molasses to make a thick, pourable batter.
Transfer the batter to a greased lidded mold and smooth the surface.
Cover the mold and place it in a deep tray filled with hot water.
Bake slowly at 120°C for 180 minutes.
Rest the bread in the mold for 20 minutes, then slice.
💡 Tip: If the mold has no lid, use a double layer of foil; this bread's moist texture depends on steamy baking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve thin slices with butter, cheese, or optional cucumber slices.
