Bread Machine Rye

• 1 1/3 c. water
• 1 T. butter
• 3 c. bread flour
• 1 c. rye flour
• 4 tsp. vital wheat gluten (found near the flour in your market)
• 2 T. dry milk
• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. caraway seed
• 2 1/2 tsp. yeast

Place the water and butter in your bread machine's bread pan.

Add the dry ingredients (except the yeast) on top of the water and butter in the bread pan.

Form a hole in the flour for the yeast. Make certain none of the wet ingredients are seeping through. Pour the yeast into the hole.

Snap the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid of the machine. Use the basic bread setting and a light crust. Start the machine. When the bread is done, carefully remove the loaf to a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing and using.
