I made as posted. Love the color but mine also fell and that is the reason why I am not going to take a picture. I got about 3 nice slices off of one end. I did set the crust to LIGHT hoping that would help it not collapse. It is very dense which is fine but think it is a bit bitter. I think the recipe is probably supposed to be a two pound loaf and next time would try two changes-increase the molasses to 1/4 cup and decrease the yeast to 2 1/4 teaspoons. Danke ~SarahBeth~ for sharing. Made for ZWT#6.

This was a perfect Rye bread. Nice and dense. It didn't rise a whole lot, but I think that was part of it's goodness! Made for ZWT 6 and the Looney Spoon Phoodies!

This is a very good bread recipe. I followed the directions exactly as written. It made a rather small loaf but the aroma was great as it baked and the taste and texture are spot on. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.
