You’ll love this bread machine recipe for sour milk rye bread. It’s moist and tastes a little like sourdough bread because of the sour milk. It doesn’t have a rye flavor, but it has a subtle heartiness. The bread has a good texture that makes it a natural for sandwiches.
This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. Use the basic setting with medium crust.
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the machine first. With my bread machine, as with many others, you add the liquid first.
Make sure you check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Open the bread machine and look at the dough. It should be a smooth, round ball. If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks right.
