Rye breads is a normal Eastern European bakery recipe. It's still popular across Russia, Germany and the Baltic states. This was mainly because of the fact that rye grains were easy to expand in bitter climates and not only grew well on farms but in the wild as well.For this formula we will look at a rye loaf of bread made with 100% rye flour. This was the traditional recipe used across Eastern European countries due to the fact that rye grass was hardy and easy to increase in bitter weather, and frequently grew in the wild.You have to know that rye flour does not have quite a lot of gluten which cause yeast to increase and raise a loaf of bakery. The effect is that you'll finish up with a very heavy and thick loaf of bakery. It'll still have an excellent taste but don't be disappointed if the loaf does not rise which is very dense. It's also advisable to know that rye flour is not gluten free, it simply does not have the same amount of gluten that you find in loaf of bread flour, all-purpose flour, and wheat flour.This rye bakery recipe can be made in your bread machine using the whole wheat setting. If you have a 100% whole wheat setting that's even better. It has a great flavor and works really well as a foundation for an appetizer or canape and really should be sliced slim.One extreme caution is that might be this recipe will not coalesce into a dough ball in your breads machine like other breads made out of more traditional flours. You will have to lift the lid during the early kneading process and push the rye dough towards the kneading paddle from time to time to create the dough ball. Stay with it throughout the kneading process. If you need to, removed the dough ball from the pan and form it into a dough ball with your hands and drop it back to the bread pan.
