By far, the best rye bread recipe I've ever made! Texture was wondeful. It is just delicious. I didn't have molasses so I just used honey. It came out wonderful!! Thanks for sharing.

Well this gets five stars from me because DS liked it! It is, as other reviewers said, a gentle rye and that worked with him I suspect. Texture is very nice. I also did need to work in just a touch more flour, too, but I think that's the nature of bread and we are having outrageous humidity here right now. I made the dough in the bread machine and took it out for shaping. I did a round on a flat pan and baked it for about 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. It's a wow bread and I LOVE it.
