Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Water
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 cups Bread flour
• 1.5 cups Rye flour
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground anise
• 1 teaspoon Ground fennel
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add water, molasses, and butter to the bread machine pan. Ensure the butter is cut into smaller pieces for better distribution.

Step 2

Sprinkle the orange zest evenly over the liquids in the pan.

Step 3

Add the bread flour and rye flour to the pan, ensuring an even layer that covers the liquid. This helps prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar, salt, ground anise, ground fennel, and ground cardamom over the flour layer.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the liquids to ensure proper mixing at the appropriate time.

Step 6

Place the pan in the bread machine and select the "Basic Bread" setting, "1.5-pound loaf" size, and "Medium" crust color (or adjust based on your machine's options).

Step 7

Start the machine and let it handle the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking.

Step 8

When the bread machine completes the cycle, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
