Best Honey Rye Bread Recipes

HONEY MOLASSES LIGHT RYE BREAD FOR A KITCHENAID

Steps:

• 1. Place honey, molasses, salt, butter, caraway, (if using) and boiling water in small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
• 2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm honey mixture, rye flour and 1 cup AP flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl, if necessary. (Never go above speed 2 when making bread dough.)
• 3. Continue on speed 2, adding remaining AP flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl or about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer. **From KitchenAid: "Some doughs may occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that the dough is sticky and more flour should be added."
• 4. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with sprayed saran wrap. Let rise in warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
• 5. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover. Let rise in warm place free from drafts, 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
• 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (Mine didn't take this long.) Cover loaves with aluminum foil if they are browning to quickly. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool completely on wire racks. Brush tops with melted butter. *See my hint at top about cooling when just warm to the touch in loose foil. It retains moisture.
