Rye bread is a favorite for making classic sandwiches, such as the reuben and ham & swiss. It's a bread native to colder regions like Iceland, where traditional white and wheat flours aren't able to rise. Breads made with rye flour are naturally more dense and won't rise like breads made with all-purpose or bread flours, so don't expect it to.

A loaf of bread made with only rye flour will be quite flat and dense (albeit delicious!), so rye breads have evolved and are often made with a combination of rye flour and bread flour. This makes a softer bread with a higher rise that can be used for sandwiches and the like.

This bread machine rye bread recipe was tested in both the Cuisinart CBK-200 and CBK-100, but it should work in any bread maker that has a white/basic setting or dough setting.

Caraway Rye Bread (for The Bread Machine) Recipe

I tested 2 versions of rye bread, one with cocoa powder and coconut sugar and one without these. My preference is for using both cocoa powder and coconut sugar. While they are optional and won't affect the rise, structure, or softness of the bread, I highly recommend using them for a more poignant flavor.

Rye flour is made from ground rye berries, which are also known as whole rye kernels. It ranges in color from white to dark brown and adds a sour, nutty taste to baked goods. It behaves differently than wheat flour, as rye flour is heavier and contains much less gluten.

Hen choosing a rye flour, color does matter. Light rye flour tastes closer to a wheat bread, while darker rye flours deliver stronger rye flavor. I recommended using a medium or dark rye flour for a richer taste of rye. You'll also get a denser texture the darker your flour is, so keep that in mind. This recipe is made with a medium rye flour and creates a good balance of texture, color, and flavor.

Rye bread is a nutritious bread that has many potential health benefits. It's thought to help with weight loss, reduce inflammation, improve heart health, aid in digestion, and help control blood sugar. Compared to white breads and wheat breads, rye bread may be a healthier choice for you.

Rye flour is much lower in gluten than wheat flours. Therefore rye breads still contain gluten but not as much as breads made with wheat flour.

Rye flour contains high levels of pentosans, which prevent gluten from forming in dough. When gluten isn't formed, the dough cannot trap gasses needed for good fermentation. The lack of fermentation creates a dense dough and a dense loaf.

STEP 2: Select the white bread/basic setting if baking in the bread machine. Choose the 1.5 lb loaf size and your preferred crust color. If baking in the oven, select the dough setting and choose the 1.5 lb loaf size. During the first kneading cycle, frequently check on the dough. If it's too dry, add more warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until it begins to form a sticky ball. If it appears too wet, add more flour (interchanging rye and bread flour) in 1 tablespoon increments as needed.

After the last rise, gently slice a few cuts in the top and brush the top of the dough gently with milk or an egg wash. Cutting slits will help the bread top from cracking, as can happen when using rye flour. Sprinkle with extra caraway seeds. When baking is complete, turn off the bread machine. Remove the bread pan using oven mitts and wait 10 minutes before carefully removing the bread. Cool on a wire rack completely before slicing.

When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reshape into a circle, rectangle or other desired shape. Gently cut a few slits in the top with a sharp knife. Brush with milk or an egg wash and press extra caraway seeds into the top and sides of the dough. Cover with a heavy towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 400°F or until the loaf measures 190°F internally with a digital thermometer. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
