Lars' rye bread
Comments (8)Colleen, I got the recipe from the "tomato" thread. As Lars said, I think it would go very well with tomatoes. If only I had some worth eating, alas. Anyway, here's the recipe as posted by Lars. Rye Bread with Caraway and Fennel 1-1/2 pound loaf (approx.): 2 tbsp caraway seeds 1 tbsp fennel seeds 1-1/2 cups water 2 tbsp onion powder (can substitute 1/4 cup pureed onion) 1-1/8 cups dark rye flour 1-7/8 cups bread flour 2 tbsp semolina flour 2 tbsp VWG 2 tbsp brown sugar 1-1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp IDY Grind caraway seeds and fennel seeds in a coffee grinder that is used only for spices. Add the seeds to the water (I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup) and microwave for one minute. Stir and microwave 20 more seconds, and then add the onion powder (or pureed onion if you are using that). If using pureed onion instead of onion powder, you can reduce the water by 2 tablespoons. Allow the ground seeds to sit in the warm water until the water has cooled to about 100 degrees. Meanwhile, add the flours, wheat gluten, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan and stir gently with a plastic spatula. Add the oil to this mixture and stir slightly. Insert pan into the machine and lock in place. When the seeds have soaked for at least 15 minutes, add the seed/water mixture to the bread machine pan. Close the lid and add the yeast to the yeast dispenser. Set the machine for small loaf (1-1/2 pounds), medium crust, and regular loaf, or you can use the pizza setting if you want to shape the loaf yourself. Start the machine. When the bread is done, remove from pan and rub all sides with butter, and then allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack before storing it in a bag. Wait at least one hour before slicing. These directions are for the Panasonic bread machine that I have, and so you may have to adjust them if you have a different machine. The bread has a very intense flavor, and so you can cut back on the seeds/onion, but I like with a strong flavor. It is not as versatile as plain bread, but it makes great sandwiches. Grainlady gave me the suggestion to soak the seeds first, so that they will not cut the gluten strands, I think. Anyway, the loaf came out nice and light - not dense at all. Lars Colleen, I will definitely make this again, it's very flavorful, although I might cut the brown sugar to one tablespoon and get a slightly more savory dough in some instances.

Comments (10)I've never managed to make a really good loaf of GF bread in the bread machine, although I've only tried using it a few times. There is a cookbook for Gluten-Free Breads made in a bread machine, but I don't know the exact title or author. The only recipe that was close (it looked a lot like the picture above) I NOW mix with an electric hand mixer (3-minutes), baked in a small loaf pan, and get much better results than using the bread machine. It looks like actual "bread". I think the bread machine does a poor job because of the small amount of the g-f dough mixture in a machine that will make a 2# loaf, so you tend to get a flat loaf due to so little volume. The second problem with the bread machine is that it is all timed, and the timing is designed for regular bread, not gluten-free. The successful recipe is made with Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix I found at their web site. It contains 3-1/4 c. of dry mix, so Party_Music50's suggestion using 3-1/2 c. sounds like it would also work. There are instructions at the web site for both bread machine and by hand recipes. This is the one that is easy to mix with an electric mixer and the bread is done much quicker than using a bread machine. 2 eggs, beaten 4 T. butter (I use 1/2 coconut oil) 1 pkg. Instant Yeast (2-1/4 t. - I use SAF Instant)) 3-1/4 c. Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix 1/4 c. sugar (I use 2 T. agave nectar) 1/4 t. salt Crack eggs in a measuring cup and beat with a fork. Melt butter, cool slightly and add to eggs, then add warm water for a total of 1-1/2 c. liquid. Place all dry ingredients, including yeast, in a mixing bowl. Add warm butter/egg/water mixture. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Pour into greased loaf pan NO MORE than 1/2 to 2/3 full. (If you have any remaining dough, use it in a small loaf pan or pour remaining dough into a greased muffin tin - each cup 1/2 full - and make "rolls" with the batter.) Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap (I spritz it with pan spray) and place in a warm area to rise until doubled, about 1 hour (less for rolls), or until dough has risen to the lip of the pan. Take off the plastic wrap and bake in a preheated 375-degree F. oven 35 minutes for large loaf; 25-30 minutes for small loaf; and 15-25 minutes for rolls. Additional notes from the recipe: I find it much easier to slice the bread after freezing it. For extra flavor, I like to sprinkle sesame seeds in the greased bread pan before putting in the dough. For a nice variation, add 1/4 c. sunflower seeds or a T. of sesame seeds, or poppy seeds to the dough when mixing. This bread makes fantastic grilled sandwiches, cinnamon toast, and French Toast. [Grainlady's notes: I slice mine after it is completely cool with a serrated bread knife. I either place it 2-slices to a fold-top sandwich bag (and then into a plastic container), or I'll place dividers between each slice and wrap the entire sliced loaf in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. I made the plastic dividers by cutting flexible cutting mats (available at Wal-Mart - 3 sheets per package - in 3 different colors) with my guillotine style paper cutter in sizes I use for dividing slices of quick breads, loaf-size breads, between layers of pancakes, etc., stored in the freezer. I've added cinnamon for Cinnamon Bread (should try it with currants or raisins). Another time I added some dried onion flakes and dill weed for Dill Bread (good for grilled sandwiches). For a "Rye" bread I would add ground caraway seeds and some whole caraway seeds. I bake the entire recipe in a 4-1/2 x 8-inch NORPRO pan (the sides and bottom are dimpled). When I run out of Pamela's Baking and Pancake mix, I'm going to make a copy cat version and mill my own ingredients and see if I can cut the cost.] -Grainlady...See MoreRye Bread - a happy medium?
Comments (11)I use the recipe from the Outback Steak House. I make it a couple times a month DH loves this bread. If I remember I do add caraway seeds but I forget most of the time. It�s dark and moist bread perfect with a salad. Ingredients 2 packages dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup warm water 1/2 cup dark molasses 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons oil 2 cups rye flour 2 1/2 -3 cups bread flour Directions Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in the sugar and let stand 6 minutes or until it�s bubbly. In large mixing bowl combine the yeast/water combo above along with 1 cup warm water the molasses, salt, oil and rye flour. Mix this until it makes a nice smooth batter. Work in the bread flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. It should be very pliable and elastic. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then let it rise in a greased bowl until it�s doubled. Punch the dough down and shape into 2 large round loaves. Placed the loaves a few inches apart on a greased and cornmeal dusted cookie sheet. Sprinkle a bit of the cornmeal over the top of the loaves as well. Let loaves rise in a warm place until doubled. Bake loaves at 375 for about 30 minutes or until the crust makes hollow sound when tapped....See MoreLOOKING for: Bread machine Rye bread
Comments (2)Hey JoAnn! I've had this recipe for Jewish Rye for quite a while. Don't remember where I got it, nor have I ever tried it. If you do, please post the results. ABM JEWISH RYE BREAD 1-1/8 cup water 1-1/2 tsp. salt 1 Tblsp. sugar 2 cups white flour (for darker rye, substitute whole wheat flour for up to 3/4 cup) 1 cup rye flour (for lighter rye, substitute white flour for up to half the rye) 1 Tblsp. olive oil (optional -- it seems to make the bread stay fresh longer and some people prefer the texture) 1 Tblsp. caraway seeds 1/4 cup chopped onions (optional) 2 tsp. yeast Place all ingredients in bread machine in recommended order on the dough cycle. After first rise, remove dough, place on a bread board and punch down. If dough is too sticky, covering your hands or the bread board with corn meal or white flour usually is enough to bring it to the right consistency. If using a bread pan, shape loaf and place it in oiled bread pan. If you have a pizza stone, don't use a bread pan; shape the dough into a loaf or a ball or as you like and place it on a floured board (or the pizza peel). In either case, slash top with a sharp knife, cover the dough with a tea towel and leave it to rise for 1 hour. Preheat oven (preferably with pizza stone) to 450° F. The stone makes the bread crustier and gives a better contrast between the crust and the interior crumb. Spritz walls of oven with water twice before putting loaf in. (Omit for a less crusty bread). Bake thirty minutes at 450° F., spritzing the oven walls once more after five minutes, or, alternatively, bake fifteen minutes at 450° F., then reduce heat to 350° F. and bake thirty minutes more. Remove and allow to cool on rack....See MoreLars
