Russian Rye Bread for the Bread Machine

I wanted a small loaf and this fit the bill. Because I don't like the shape of any loaf in my machine, and I knew a small loaf would be a 4-inch FLAT square, I finished this off by hand, and baked in a small loaf pan. I got a perfect snack-sandwich size loaf. This is a light rye, so flavor is subtle. As per a previous review, I used half light honey and half molasses for the dark honey. Thanks for this keeper, for when we want just enough rye bread to go with our soup.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe as outlined. The bread was lumpy, and didn't rise properly. It didn't seem like there was enough moisture in the dough. Tasted good, but I think it would take me a few tries and some minor adjustments to get a well formed loaf.

Makes for a perfect great tasting small loaf - just the right size for the two of us. Great texture, slices beautifully and best of all tastes really good! Made the first loaf in the breadmaker, the second I used the dough cycle and shaped into a 'French' style loaf baking in the oven giving us great little slices - perfect served with Hearty Vegetable and Lentil Soup. First loaf made as posted - the second cut the honey to one tablespoon using 2 tablespoons of the butter to compensate - both made for excellent results. My flour required using an extra tablespoon of water. The caraway seed which I love was just right for our tastes. This breadmaker highly recommends this to the Rye bread lovers. I thank you Annacia and my dh thanks you!

A small dense bread. I was worried after it kneaded as it wasn't raising much and seemed to keep it's shape and not spread out. But no worries it turned out delicious. However, there was not a rich rye taste very mild even with the caraway seeds. I fixed this to go with my corned beef dinner and hopefully sandwiches if there is any left :) Thank you for posting Annacia.

Delicious! Just the right size for the 2 of us! Easy to make. I used molasses because I'm out of honey -- yum, yum, yum!

Really delicious loaf! Good texture and although mild, it's still very flavorful. I didn't have "dark" honey, so I used 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp molasses. Other than that one change, I follwed the directions as written. I do wish the loaf was larger and I will probably try and double in in my machine for a 2lb loaf. Thanks...this one's a winner.

This made a flavorful loaf. For some reason it fell while baking, but still had a nice texture. Great for ham or pastrami sandwiches! Made for ZWT4. Thanks for the recipe! ~Sue

i was real skeptical when i made this , i have a 2 lb machine and this only makes a 1 lb loaf- i this is the smallest loaf i have ever made in any machine, but it was delicious. very tasty, healthy, and we wanted more-- btw, omitted the seeds, in nyc it's always "rye no seeds" made for zwt4.

Really wonderful rye bread, soft and delicious. I made this by hand and then baked it in the oven. I used my favorite Ultragrain flour, which is whole grain but has the texture of white flour. Since it's not bread flour, I added gluten. My rye flour is dark rye flour, and the color of these loaves is a rich light brown crumb, with a golden crust. I think I may try this next time with a sourdough starter adaptation. Yummy bread, Annacia! Thanks so much!

Great rye bread.I baked it in the oven.I had no caraway seeds but after a bit of research I found out Polish Rye bread has Poppy seeds so I added some on top. I made this for the E E Bread Challenge in WT4 so I hope it still qualifies.I have made rye bread before but it always turned out hard;this one is light and so tasty. Thanks for posting this one; it will be our new Rye bread instead of store bought. Rita

A wonderful loaf! I made it in my 2lb machine, and it made the cutest little almost-round loaf! :) I even tried it on my express bake cycle (80 minutes). It was a very moist rye bread, and the morning after I baked it, it had the most wonderful, sliceable crust and the perfect density for thin sandwich slices! Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.
