Place all of the ingredients in your Bread Machine and set for "DOUGH ONLY". My bread machine will knead the dough and complete the first rising in 1 1/2 hours.  Once the mixture has combined  add the rye starter to the mixture..Add a tablespoon of flour if dough is very wet.  Once the dough has completed the first rising remove it from the bread machine and form an oval loaf that is tapered on the ends.  Place on floured parchment paper to and allow it to rise for around 1/2 hour our or until almost double in size. After the second rising has completed poke 5 holes in the top of the  dough with a cooking thermomemeter and place in a pre heated 400 degree oven for around 20 minutes or until light golden brown.  Total Time 2  1/2 hrs

This Italian Rye bread has a strong German influence and comes form a town in the high alps called Bolzano. This brad has a wonderful aroma. This bread goes well with butter, fresh cheeses, mushrooms and caviar.
Special Note: 1 1/2 teasppons of caraway seeds can be added . These are optional. I don't add the caraway seeds but, they are part of the original recipe form Bolzano.
