I have worked on this recipe for a while now and I think I have perfected it. It is so good...way better than whole wheat.

How To Make plain old rye bread

Step 1

BAKE AT 350 DEGREES FOR 35-45 MINUTES. I USE A MEAT THERMOMETER AND COOK IT UNTIL IT REACHES 180-190 DEGREES

Step 2

I sometimes add about a 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats that I have blended into flour and 1 cup of old fashioned oats, when I am adding the rye flour. Then I only use 4 cups of rye flour
