Rye recipes

A hearty German style black bread recipe for your bread machine.

Excellent bread. Nice, light texture and good crust. I will add more caraway next time, though, as we really like that flavor. I doubled the recipe to make a large loaf, and it worked fine. I usually just use my machine for the kneading process and than finish the loaf by hand, but let the machine do the whole thing this time, since I was busy all day. Made the house smell great, and was perfect with a steaming bowl of split pea soup! Thanks for this keeper.

When using any other flour but white, substitute one tablespoon of gluten flour* for regular flour. You can use mixed grains, bran, flax, whole wheat flour, rye flour. Just be sure to adjust the gluten. 100% whole wheat does not turn out too well.
