Buttermilk Rye Bread (sized for bread machine)
Yield: 1 loaf
Instructions
This recipe is sized for a bread machine with a 3 cup capacity like a Zojirushi model 15, when I make it in a mixer I double everything.
20 Tablespoons buttermilk
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine (melted)
1 Tablespoon salt
2 Teaspoons sugar
2 Cups bread flour
1/2 Cup dark rye flour
1/2 Cup whole wheat flour
2 Teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 Teaspoons gluten
2 Tablespoons caraway seeds
Use a 'light crust' setting if your bread machine offers it. I don't bother with the 'whole wheat' setting on mine.
If mixing by hand, I follow the same instructions as in my Semolina Whole Wheat recipe. If I'm going to make reubens, I will put about 2/3 of the dough in a 1 1/2 lb bread pan and make a small free-form loaf with the rest.
