This light rye bread recipe is one of the first rye bread recipes that I made. The bread is filled with the flavor of caraway. The texture is firm and a little springy. It’s great for sandwiches!
This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. Use the basic or white 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.
