Old-World Rye Bread Machine Recipe

I love this rye bread machine recipe because this rye bread comes out so hearty, moist, and full of that old-world flavor. I used caraway seeds to keep the loaf traditional and the molasses adds delicious depth of flavor. You might need to skip the bakery from now on!

  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or, 2 tbsp ground flax mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp fancy molasses
  • 1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 3/4 cup dark rye flour
  • 2 tbsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp bread machine yeast

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients into the bread pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer of your specific bread maker.
  • Select the "whole wheat" cycle.
  • Select your choice of crust. I selected medium.
  • Press start.

Notes

Nutritional information is an estimate only. I based this on 2 slices of bread when the loaf is sliced into approximately 16 pieces.
Be sure to allow the loaf to fully cool before slicing.
I find that when I make this bread at night and allow it to cool overnight the loaf comes out moist and firm enough to slice it really easily.
