Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 3 min.
Put 450 g plain white flour (French Type 65) and 50 g rye flour into a food-processor bowl.
In this recipe, wine is used instead of the usual water, which will give the bread a very special flavour.
Weigh 300 ml dry white wine. Do try to use a Jura white wine made with Savignin grapes if possible.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
In bread-making, the water temperature is always important. It's not a fixed value, but related to 3 other temperatures: 1) the temperature of your flour, 2) the room temperature in your kitchen, and 3) the basic temperature of this recipe, which is 56-60°C.

Remarks
To be sure the wine is at the right temperature, it is best to microwave it in its container by 10 second bursts, checking with an electronic thermometer each time. If you do not have a microwave, heat the wine in a small pan on low heat until it reaches the right temperature.
If you are baking your bread in a proper bread oven, sit each loaf on a sheet of cooking parchment, otherwise the cheese will stick them to the oven floor. Of course, if you do not have the authentic ingredients from the Jura (such a pity!), you can use any dry white wine and an easily available cheese like Emmental. These will work just fine.
