"As long as I’ve known my friend George he has been an enthusiastic bread maker. George lives in Carlisle, Mass, and when I go out there to visit his daughter and grandchildren George often has a freshly baked loaf of rye bread for us to enjoy. This month George came to visit my family in Carmichael and naturally, I put him to work, showing me the way he makes his rye bread. The following is a recipe that will yield two loaves. Actually, I don’t think one can easily learn to make bread by reading about it. You have to get your hands in it and learn directly from someone who can say, “See? This is the right consistency for the dough.” If you are interested in learning more about bread making there are a few links at the end of this post that you may find useful. As for the bread? It was wonderful. Light, soft inside, and a crusty crust. Dad doesn’t like caraway seeds so they were kept out. I love them so the next time I make this bread they’re going in...."
