The dough of modern Borodino bread contains rye and wheat flour, yeast, salt, caraway seeds, rye malt, sugar and molasses. As a result of using these ingredients, the taste of this bread is sweet and sour, without any admixture of bitterness, and its aroma is legendary. The dough for Borodino bread is prepared in three to four stages, using a thick or liquid sourdough. The classical technology of its production takes almost two days, and kneading the dough is such a complicated process that only large bakeries are engaged in it.
For many hours of peeling the dough of Borodino bread, special containers and large production sites are required.
Real black bread with caraway seeds should not contain dyes, preservatives and chemical flavor enhancers. A loaf of quality Borodinsky has an oblong shape with blunt rounded ends, a dark brown glossy color, a smooth surface sprinkled with anise, caraway seeds or coriander. At the same time, the crust should not flake off from the crumb, which, in turn, should be elastic, dry, uniformly porous and free of voids.
