How to cook deliciously - Winnipeg Rye Bread

1 . Stage

Soak the cracked rye berries in 1/4 cup of water until most of the water has been absorbed, at least 30 minutes.

2 . Stage

Place ingredients into the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Add the soaked rye with the bread flour. Set bread machine for the DOUGH cycle, and press START.

3 . Stage

When the machine indicates the end of the cycle, remove the dough, punch down, and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into halves, press out any air bubbles, and form into round or long loaves. Place them onto a baking sheet, and allow the loaves to rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size, about 35 minutes.

4 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush the tops of the loaves with remaining milk. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the loaf makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
