Rye bread is a traditional Eastern European bakery recipe. It's still popular across Russia, Germany and the Baltic states. This was essentially due to the fact that rye grains were easy to increase in bitter climates and not only grew well on farms but in the wild as well.For this menu we will check out a rye bakery made out of 100% rye flour. This was the traditional recipe used across Eastern Europe due to the fact that rye lawn was hardy and easy to develop in bitter weather, and frequently grew in the open.You should know that rye flour lacks significant amounts of gluten which cause fungus to grow and raise a loaf of bakery. The result is that you will end up with a very heavy and dense loaf of bread. It'll still have a fantastic taste but avoid being disappointed if the loaf does not rise and 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 see in bakery flour, all-purpose flour, and wheat flour.This rye loaf of bread recipe can be produced in your loaf of bread machine using the complete wheat setting. When you have a 100% whole wheat setting that's even better. It has a great taste and works really well as a foundation for an appetizer or canape and really should be sliced skinny.One extreme care is that might be this recipe does not coalesce into a dough ball in your loaf of bread machine like other breads made out of more traditional flours. You will need to lift the cover during the early kneading process and push the rye dough on the kneading paddle from time to time to create the dough ball. Stick with it throughout the kneading process. If you need to, removed the dough ball from the skillet and form it into a dough ball with the hands and drop it back to the bread skillet.
