Equipment

  • Bread machine with Basic/White program
  • 1½- to 2-pound loaf capacity pan

Ingredients
  

For 1½-pound loaf:

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened and cut into pieces
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp caraway seed
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp yeast

For 2-pound loaf:

  • 1⅓ cups water
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened and cut into pieces
  • 2¾ cups bread flour
  • 1¼ cups rye flour
  • 3 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp caraway seed
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1¼ tsp yeast

Instructions
 

  • Add the ingredients to the bread machine’s baking pan in the exact order listed, starting with water and ending with yeast.
  • Select the "Whole Grain" setting if your machine includes it. If not, use the "Basic/White" setting.
  • Choose the appropriate setting for loaf size (1½ lb or 2 lb) based on your chosen measurements.
  • Press Start and allow the machine to complete the full baking cycle.
  • When the loaf is done, remove it from the bread pan and place it on a wire rack. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For a decorative touch and added flavor, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top after the final rise.
  • Caraway seeds can be increased or reduced based on preference.
  • Bread flour gives the loaf structure while rye flour adds earthiness and chew.
  • This bread is excellent for sandwiches like Reubens, or toasted with cream cheese and smoked salmon.
