Home Cooking. Hearty Rye Bread.

Hearty Rye Bread Recipe: Rye Flour (1 cup); Bread Flour (1 cup); Whole Wheat Flour (1 cup); Sprouted Wheat Flour (1/2 cup); Flax Seed (1/4 cup); Chia Seed (1 tbs); Dill Seed (1 tbs); Anise Seed (1 tbs); Caraway Seed (1 tbs); Fennel Seed (1 tbs);  brown sugar (1 tbs); honey (2 tbs); dry milk (1/4 cup);  cocoa (1 tbs); instant coffee (1 tbs); salt (2 tsp); egg (1 large); flax oil (2 tbs); water (1 1/2 cup) molasses (1/4 cup). Above ingredients minus the molasses added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (2 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Once the yeast had been added, and the mixer started the molasses was added. Three hours later, the loaf of bread was removed and allowed to cool.

The center was too moist (somewhat gummy). Probably due to using honey. Next time, I will cut back on the amount of water (or eliminate the honey).
