This gorgeous rye bread has just a touch of sweetness and the perfect amount of caraway seeds. With a crusty top and firm texture, it holds up well to sandwiches...but a pat of butter will do the job, too. Holly Wade — Harrisonburg, Virginia

This bread is excellent! I've made it in a bread machine on dough cycle. I've made it into a loaf in an extra large loaf pan. I've also used full flavored molasses when I didn't have light molasses. Everyone that's tasted it has loved it.

Made this recipe yesterday for thr first time. I love it!! It did take 1 1/2 hours for the first rise. I didn't have light molasses so I used honey. The bread is moist, texture is excellent. This will be my rye bread recipe from now on.

Where can I find rye flour? I've looked in all 13 stores here in town and no one has it. I want to try this receipe because it looks like one that I loved in Sweden.

I love making bread and this recipe looks awesome. fyi gutpyle . . . 1 package of yeast is 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. I think this would be excellent made on the dough cycle of a bread machine and then baked as described in the recipe.

My husband says this is the best bread recipe we have ever made and trust me we have baked a great number of breads. We made this exactly as recipe states.

I just made this recipe and next time will leave out the caraway seeds. I only used 2 T. this time but don't think it needs any (and besides my husband doesn't like them). I mixed everything by hand in the large mixing bowl and then put the dough hook on when I added the remaining flour (which was only 1/2 cup). I did NOT knead by hand but let the dough hook work for about two minutes then just left the dough covered in the bowl and put into the microwave with a pitcher of very hot water (to proof). Baked on parchment paper for 35 minutes and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
