How to make a good rye bread in bread machine using this flour?

If you only want to use the rye flour, the bread will be very small, squished and heavy. This is what I do using my bread machine: I use 1.5 cups of rye flour, 1.5 wheat flour (of the same Organic Milling Company) and 1 cup all-purpose generic grocery store flour (I like Trader Joe's all purpose unbleached flour, but it doesn't have to be TJ'S). The all purpose flour is not as healthy, but it holds the bread together. If you skip it and use just 50 50 mix of rye and wheat flour, the bread may easily crumble. I also add 2 tsps of salt, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 Tbsp of oil and 2.75 tsps of Red Dry Yeast. The bread rises nicely and it's much puffier than bread made only from rye flour.

Bread machine recipies work out fine, but I only use the slightly larger whole wheat yeast and no the regular yeasts. Also have to be sure to balance the ph when using rye - hence the bit or orange peel and bit of apple cider vinegar.

Mixing the rye flour with general purpose wheat flour ~1:1 and "5-stars" yeasts worked well for me. I don't think any bread machine can make a good bread from 100% rye flour.

This product is in its whole grain form. You would need a grain mill to process it in to flour for making breads.

Bread bakes differently due to so many factors, like humidity, elevation, starter or commercial yeast, I hesitate to recommend a recipe. You could check the Great River website, and do a small loaf by reducing the recipe, see how you like it. For where I live, I need to add at least 2 tablespoons of water to the recipe I frequently use, which is from the Tasajara Bread book, the basic recipe. Since the 7 Grain absorbs more water, you need to add some, whereas with standard bread flour, probably not. I have made many delicious loaves baked in an ordinary loaf pan with the 7 Grain blend, I think the flavor is very good, and I always toast my slice. Always. Also, the bread is better 24 hours after baking, the moisture averages out thru the loaf, I just wrap it in a kitchen towel for a day, and after that it's kept in a plastic bag. I only bake one loaf at a time, but I change seeds, dates, chunky ground nuts, or even herbs, depending on what sounds good. I plan to start using my own wild yeast starter, so that will take me out of the loaf pan and onto a baking stone or a baguette baker. I have all the flours made by Great River, they do rise differently, the 7 Grain is a little more dense of a loaf, but it's great to have access to organic flours, and home made bread is worth the time. Good luck, and don't worry if you have a few loaves in the beginning that aren't terrific, that happens, it's an art, takes a little practice.

I use this recipe: 2 pound loaf of wheat bread 1 2/3 cup water 2 Tbsp. butter softened (I actually use olive oil) 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (I actually use Splenda brown sugar) 2 Tsp. Salt 4 2/3 cups Whole wheat flour 3 Tsp. Bread machine yeast Sometimes I will add a 1/2 cup of blueberries -Place ingredients into bread pan in this order: water, butter, sugar, salt and flour -with finger, make a small indentation on one side of flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients. (If adding blueberries, I add them to the other side.) - select whole wheat on bread maker

I always use this whole grain bread in recipes w/ my bread machine(that call for regular flour) - we absolutely love it and make sure it's always on hand. The flour makes the difference!!

I use recipes from a bread maker recipe book, not a home made bread recipe that I have for making bread in the oven. It is important to follow it precisley in terms of putting the ingredients in the right order that it calls for. You can find nice bread machine recipe books on Amazon and also the one they give you with this purchase is nice. Hope this helps..

I use Laura Brody's Bread Machine Baking recipe book & the recipes are adapted for speciific bread machines. For the large oster, I always use 2 1/2 tsp yeast to 3 C flour. King Arthur flour is great!

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

Well, I don't use a bread machine, but I don't think you'll have anything but good results from this yeast. It's even great for over-rising like when you make foccacia bread and need really big gaping bubbles. The key, as in all bread making, is how much you choose to knead. That will determine how long the gluten strands are and how chewey or finely textured the bread is.

The flour has no larger grains in it, i use this for my sourdough starter. It is a fine flour. Best rye flour i've used yet.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

I make a whole wheat honey loaf and add a heaping tablespoon of the wheat gluten,it makes the perfect texture for whole wheat bread

The only kind of bread we have made in it is a gluten-free mix from Pamela's Products. We followed the instructions exactly(temperature, order of adding ingredients, don't let yeast touch wet ingredients) and had perfect bread every time. I'm not sure why yours isn't turning out well.

I found the "best bread machine" bread recipe on allrecipes.com. It is the best I've ever used.

Yes! I can't think of a bread recipe that you couldn't use in the bread machine. It does wheat, white, potato, brioce, sweet breads even multigrain breads.The machine comes with a great recipe book with a number of great bread recipes.
