Ingredients

For a 1.5-pound loaf

1 cup (8 oz) water
1 tablespoon softened butter
2 and 1/4 cups bread flour
3/4 cup rye flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 and 1/2 teaspoons yeast

For a 2-pound loaf

1 and 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon softened butter
3 cups bread flour
1 cup rye flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 and 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Instructions

Start by adding the liquid ingredients (water and butter) to the bread pan.

💧 Make sure the water is warm to the touch but not hot! This will help the yeast activate effectively.

Next, add the dry ingredients, excluding the yeast.
Using your finger, create a small well in the center of the flour.

⚠️ Remember, yeast should never touch salt at this point, as it can inhibit its effectiveness.

Carefully measure and place the yeast into this well.
Attach the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.
Select the "Basic" setting using the "Select" button on your breadmaker.
Choose your crust color preference (light, medium, or dark) by pressing the "Crust Color" button.
Finally, press the "Start/Stop" button to begin the baking process.

Tips for Success

🥯 Storage: Slice the loaf once cooled and store in an airtight container. It stays fresh for several days, and you can freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months!
🌱 Customization: Feel free to add more caraway seeds or even mix in some chopped nuts or seeds for added texture.
🌍 High Elevation Adjustments: If you are baking at a high altitude, consider reducing the yeast slightly (to around 2 teaspoons) and increasing the water by a tablespoon for the best results.

Variations

Whole Grain: Substitute a portion of bread flour with whole wheat flour to create a healthier, hearty option.
Herb Infusion: Mix in dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist that pairs beautifully with olive oil.
Sweet Rye: Add a tablespoon of molasses or honey to the liquid ingredients for a subtly sweet flavor profile.
