Delicious! The dough was VERY WET, since I use powdered buttermilk, I'll adjust the liquid. This first try, I just spread the dough with a spatula. It worked fine. I thought the bread could use more rye flavor so, next time I'll try 2c rye flour and reduce the white flour accordingly. I'll also substitute molasses in place of the sugar.

Easy bread. Served with Mrs. Schreiner's Split-Pea Soup (found on this site). I broke it into two smaller rounds so I could serve it twice with the same flair. I was REALLY disappointed that this did not taste like it had rye flour. Since I hadn't have this bread before, this was a big surprise for me.
