Rye Bread for the Bread Machine

Chef Joyous's Note:

Yummy, New York Rye, Great for sandwiches and toast!

• Total Time: 3 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 pound l ...

• 1 cup cold water, plus
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 1 cup rye flour
• 1 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1/4 cup white wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons wheat gluten
• 3 tablespoons dry milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Directions:

1. Add ingredients to your bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
2. Use whole wheat cycle for baking. OR use the dough cycle, and bake it in the oven. If doing this let bread rise again in greased bread pan in a warm place and cover with a damp cotten towel till the dough almost doubles.
3. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 till golden. I usually remove it from the pan after 25 minutes and continue baking it on a baking stone for a crusty crust!
4. Rub cold butter on the warm loaf to make it extra yummy.

Great bread! I also baked this in the oven, formed loosely into a loaf. The first 25 minutes were on a sheet pan, the final 10 directly on the oven rack, which gave me a beautiful golden crust. Instead of caraway seeds (didn't have any) I used 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds. I used 1/34 cups AP flour instead of the bread flour and white wheat flour, but I still got an outstanding texture. I'll definitely make this again!

I used the bake in the oven option. I made a round instead of in a pan. This has a really nice crust and soft texture inside. Very flavorful. Great with soup. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

Oh I couldn`t wait to slice this! I cut it right out of the machine. Makes a crispy crust and tender center. Thanks
