• 3 T packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 cup rye flour
• 1 1/2 T caraway seeds
• 3/4 tsp. ground fennel
• 3/4 tsp fresh orange zest (finely ground orange peel)

Preparation

Step 1

Important: Make sure the beer is between 115 and 125 degrees by using a cooking thermometer.


Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.

Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.

Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.

Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.
