Wheat and Rye Bread Recipes
We've settled on two favorite recipes for our bread machine, generally switching between them. Not sure how these will work in other bread machines, ours is a Zojirushi BB-PAC20 using the regular cycle, basic bread, medium crust settings.
Add water to bread pan. Add salt to water. Add olive oil using a liquid tablespoon measure, then use the same now oil coated tablespoon to measure the honey or molasses (this keeps the sweetener from sticking to the tablespoon). Add flour on top of liquid ingredients, spreading flour to cover liquid. Add extras before the yeast using appropriate fresh measuring equipment (do not reuse the wet one), spreading along the sides on top of the flour to prevent clumping. Finally, add the yeast in the middle of the flour, spread out a bit not just in a big pile.
We set our Zojirushi BB-PAC20 using the regular cycle, basic bread, medium crust settings. These recipes work fine either using this machine's built in 'rest' period or using the timer. If the bread machine being used does not have a rest or warm up period and instead immediately starts mixing, do not start it until all ingredients reach room temperature.
Wheat Ingredients
- 12 ounces water
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or blackstrap molasses
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup occident bread flour
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped black walnuts
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
Rye Ingredients
- 12 ounces water
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or blackstrap molasses
- 1 1/2 cups dark rye flour
- 2 1/2 cups occident bread flour
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon black cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
Old bread machine before perfecting the ingredient ratios. Ratio of yeast to dry ingredients needs tweaked just right for each recipe, bread machine, flour type, etc. So some adjustments may be needed for your perfect loaf. One of the advantages of cooking, eating the failures eliminates the evidence.
