Here is a great recipe for bread machine rye bread. This bread is used for classic sandwiches such as the Reuben Sandwich, Ham & Cheese on Rye, etc. Rye bread is a modestly dark bread made with ingredients such as rye flour, molasses and cocoa powder. It has a unique flavor (which can be described as “earthy”) and is a nice change from the white bread used for many sandwiches.

This rye bread recipe is made completely in the bread machine. Unlike some other bread machine recipes, this bread is not baked in the oven. My recipe is generally much easier to make (versus bread machine recipes that make the rye dough in the bread machine and then rely on an oven in order to bake the loaf).
