Instructions
-
Preparation: Begin by gathering all the ingredients, ensuring they are measured accurately for the best results.
-
Mixing the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, wheat gluten, and caraway seeds thoroughly. This step is crucial as it helps distribute the flavors evenly throughout the loaf.
-
Loading the Bread Machine: Add the mixture to your bread machine’s pan, following your manufacturer’s instructions for layering ingredients. Generally, you’ll want to start with the liquid ingredients first. Pour in the warm water, then the honey, followed by the salt.
-
Adding the Dry Ingredients: Next, add the combined flour mixture on top of the liquids, ensuring it covers them completely to create a barrier. Sprinkle the dry milk evenly over the flour.
-
Incorporating the Yeast: Make a small well in the center of the flour, taking care not to disturb the flour surrounding it. Add the bread machine yeast into this well; this helps ensure proper activation during the mixing process.
-
Starting the Machine: Close the lid of the bread machine and select the “Basic” or “White Bread” cycle, depending on your machine’s settings.
-
Monitoring the Dough: Keep an eye on the mixing process during the initial stages. If the dough appears too dry, you may add additional water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a soft, elastic consistency.
-
Baking: Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle. Once finished, the machine will typically signal that the bread is ready. Carefully remove the pan from the machine, and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
-
Cooling: Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This step is essential, as it helps set the texture and flavor of the bread.
-
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your homemade New York Rye Bread as a base for sandwiches, or simply toasted with butter. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of toppings, including deli meats, cheeses, or even a hearty soup.
