Ingredients

• 1 cup beer
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup rye flour
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Pour the beer and water into the bread machine's baking pan. Ensure the liquids are at room temperature for optimal yeast activation.

Step 2

Add the rye flour and bread flour to the pan, making sure to cover the liquids completely.

Step 3

Sprinkle the dry milk powder, caraway seeds, instant espresso powder, sugar, and salt evenly over the flour mixture.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients, ensuring it doesn't reach the liquid layer. Add the active dry yeast to this well.

Step 6

Place the baking pan into the bread machine and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7

Select the 'Basic' bread setting with a medium crust option on the bread machine. Most machines will have a cycle time of approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Step 8

Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread automatically.

Step 9

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the baking pan from the machine using oven mitts. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 10

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