Unyeasted Peasant Rye Bread

Ingredients
4 cups rye meal (cracked rye, contains some flour)
1 cup cracked wheat
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup wheat bran
3 cups boiling water

Instructions
Mix all dry ingredients, then add honey and water. Dough will seem somewhat wet. Cover and let it sit in the bowl overnight. Add more flour if needed and form a rough shaped loaf. Bake in a covered pan at 200 degrees for 4 hours with a pan of hot water in the oven on the lower shelf underneath it. Refill if needed. If you want it a moist Dutch pumpernickel type, wrap in a moist towel for a day in the fridge.
