Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Caraway Seeds
• 2 cups Bread Flour
• 1 cup Rye Flour
• 2 tablespoons Dry Milk Powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast

Directions

Step 1

Measure and prepare all ingredients in advance.

Step 2

Add the water, molasses, softened butter, salt, and brown sugar into the bread machine pan, ensuring all liquids are positioned at the base.

Step 3

Sprinkle the caraway seeds evenly over the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Gently spoon in the bread flour and rye flour, ensuring the flour completely covers the liquid base.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the flour using your finger or a spoon, ensuring it doesn't reach the liquid. Place the dry milk powder around the edges of the pan and pour the yeast into the well.

Step 6

Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle. If the machine has a crust control, select 'Light' for a softer finish.

Step 7

Begin the cycle and allow the machine to knead, rise, and bake the bread. Avoid opening the lid during the process to ensure consistent results.

Step 8

Once the cycle is complete and the bread is fully baked, turn off the machine and carefully remove the pan using oven mitts.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the bread as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.
