Here is a great recipe for bread machine rye bread. This bread is used for classic sandwiches such as the Reuben Sandwich, Ham & Cheese on Rye, etc. Rye bread is a modestly dark bread made with ingredients such as rye flour, molasses and cocoa powder. It has a unique flavor (which can be described as “earthy”) and is a nice change from the white bread used for many sandwiches.

This rye bread recipe is made completely in the bread machine. Unlike some other bread machine recipes, it is not baked in the oven. My recipe is generally much easier to make (versus bread machine recipes that make the rye dough in the bread machine and then rely on an oven in order to bake the loaf).

According to Wikipedia, rye grain “is used for flour, bread, beer, crisp bread, some whiskeys, some vodkas, and animal fodder”. Examples of rye bread sandwiches include Reuben sandwiches, pastrami sandwiches, ham & cheese on rye sandwiches, etc. Given the earthy taste of rye bread, many people like to use sandwich condiments such as mustard in order to complement the bread’s natural flavor.

For me, it's rye bread. I love the depth of flavor and density of a good slice of rye, but for some reason, I'd never attempted it. Until recently.

Our restaurants have been closed on and off for months due to the thing that shall not be named, so I had to take matters into my own hands.

No. 1 --> Use the scoop and level method for your flour: stir the flour well in the bag, then scoop the flour into your measuring cup and level the cup by scraping a knife across the top. This will result in more consistent scooping!

No. 2 --> Measure the cooking oil, then the molasses. The light coating of oil will help to release the molasses from the spoon easily!

No. 4 --> You can use all purpose flour, IF, the protein content is high enough. Look for flour with a protein content of at least 13%. Check out my whole wheat bread machine recipe to learn how to calculate protein content.

Flour: This recipe has 3 different kinds of flour. I know, but hear me out. The rye flour is there for obvious reasons! Rye has a nutty, earthy flavor, but low gluten content. Bread flour and whole wheat flour, with their high gluten content, help to turn this rye loaf into a beautiful airy bread.

Sweetener: We're using both brown sugar and unsulfured molasses in this recipe. Both of these ingredients have a deeper, more caramelized flavor than regular sugar. They also both serve to color the bread!

How To Make Homemade Rye Bread

Hi Pam, I stir, spoon from the bag into the measuring cup, then level. I haven't used this recipe with a scale before because most bread machine users look for recipes that have cups and spoons, sorry!

I make this bread every week but it always caves in during baking. I follow the instructions so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It tastes good but it looks wonky

Hey Helena, sorry to hear that's happening to you. I would try reducing the water a little bit, and even the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon.

It's a fave here too! I love to make it the same night I cook up a cross rib roast, so that we have rye bread on hand for cold roast beef sandwiches with pickles the next day - a secret weakness of mine!

This bread is delicious! I didn’t have a bread flour so I just used AP flour. Definitely will make again and again!
