Measure and prepare all ingredients in advance.
Add the water, molasses, softened butter, salt, and brown sugar into the bread machine pan, ensuring all liquids are positioned at the base.
Sprinkle the caraway seeds evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Gently spoon in the bread flour and rye flour, ensuring the flour completely covers the liquid base.
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.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle. If the machine has a crust control, select 'Light' for a softer finish.
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.
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is fully baked, turn off the machine and carefully remove the pan using oven mitts.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.
