Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 300 F, turning it off immediately once heated.
• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, butter, molasses, brown sugar, fennel seeds, caraway seeds, and anise seeds. Bring it to a low boil. Maintain the low boil for 5 minutes. Remove it from the burner and let it cool until the mixture is lukewarm.
• Once the liquid spice mixture is warm, but not hot, to the touch, whisk in the active dry yeast, salt, and grated orange peel.
• Place the liquid in a mixing bowl and gradually stir in 2 1/2 cups rye flour. Continue to add in 2 to 3 cups of all-purpose flour until the dough is soft and pliable (it will be slightly sticky).

• Either by hand or with the dough hook of your mixer, knead the dough lightly for about 5 minutes, until the dough is stiff and smooth.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl (either oil or butter is fine), flipping the dough once to coat it with grease. Cover the bowl with a clean towel, place it in a warmed oven, and let it rise until double, about 1 hour.
• After the dough is risen, punch it down, divide it into 2 halves, and shape it into 2 round loaves.
• Place the loaves on a lightly floured baking pan or pizza paddle (if you use a bread stone in your oven). Cover it with a towel and let the loaves rise on the counter until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 F. When the loaves have risen, place them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until they are dark, crusty and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Serve and enjoy.
