Directions
Add ingredients in the order listed. All ingredients must be at room temperature. Select whole grain and baking control set for medium.
Press start. Bread will be ready in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Producing high, moist loaves with whole grains is a very difficult when you're making bread by hand. This is especially true when using rye flour which has little or no gluten. Fortunately, the bread machine has superior kneading action perfect for whole grains. Extra rising time plus some bread flour to boost the gluten yields a loaf that is moist, chewy and remarkably high in volume.
