Rebecca's Jewish Rye Bread

~*-_-*~Rebecca~*-_-*~'s Note:

This is a great sandwich rye that I came up with. We love the addition of the dehydrated onions, but it's great without them as well. Sometimes I will use 3 cups white and 1 cup rye and sometimes I use 2 cups white, 1 cup white whole wheat and 1 cup rye. This makes a 2 pound loaf in my Zojirushi bread machine.

I made this bread and found it to be very flat in flavor. The recipe I printed out did not call for salt. Maybe now that the recipe includes salt the flavor would be better.

Absolutely amazing. I didn't have all of the flours I needed on hand, and I had literally just used the last of my gluten 20 minutes prior, so I used 2.5 C white flour and 1.5 C rye, and it still turned out beautifully. The flavor of the onion flakes is not only delicious, but a fun way to dress up a turkey sandwich. I made it by hand, divided into two small loaves and baked at 350 for about 25 minutes, but I think next time I will leave it all as one large loaf.

I used this recipe as a base, but made a sponge with 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of yeast and 1 cup of water. That set for 6 hours and then I added the remaining ingredients. The bread was excellent but the surface of the loaf was grainy due, I'm sure to lack of kneading on my part.
