Rye Bread


I actually took this recipe from superkitchenmachine.com and adjusted the mixture of flour.  This bread is very easy to make and very yummy to eat.  Just a thin slice of bread with a slab of butter and it tastes heavenly.

With Thermomix, I am beginning to enjoy home made bread.  It is so easy to make and so delicious to eat especially while it is still warm.  Commercial breads no longer appeals to me anymore!





















Ingredients:

300 g water
3 tsp yeast
1 tbsp honey
300 g bread flour             )  Total 500 g of flour, it can be in any
100 g wholemeal flour      )  proportion.  If you can’t find rye
100 g rye flour                 )  flour, then use only 2 types of flour
1½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil mixed with 1 Tbsp water (for brushing top)
