Rye Bread with Molasses and Caraway

[Photograph: Donna Currie] I used a medium rye flour but you can use any rye you find. Because we probably won't be using the same rye flour, you may need to add more or less bread flour to get the...

Rye Chop Bread Recipe | Bread Baking

It's embarrassing how many types of rye flour I usually have on hand. I love rye. Rye chops aren't a type of flour, though. Essentially they're roughly cut rye berries. They're chunky bits, sort of like the steel cut oats of the rye world.

Cocktail Rye Bread

[Photograph: Donna Currie] I used pumpernickel flour for this recipe, but I know that most stores don't stock a lot of different rye flours, so use whatever rye flour you have on hand, or whatever you can find. I'm usually...

Bread Machine Rye Bread

[Photograph: Donna Currie] When it comes to bread, whole grains are usually what people are looking for. This bread is 2/3 whole grains, with 1/3 white wheat and 1/3 rye. The final third is bread flour, because I think it...

Malted Barley Dark Rye Sandwich Loaf Recipe | Bread Baking

For this loaf, I used a pale chocolate malt. The grains smelled a bit like chocolate with a hint of coffee. One of my previous loaves used a darker roasted malt called Pearl Black that smelled very much like roasted coffee and had a much stronger flavor in the finished loaf. If you don't have dark malted barley, you could simply leave it out and use this recipe to make a standard rye. It will be a lot paler, and not as complex, but still a nice loaf of rye.

Long Loaves Recipe | Bread Baking

I'm not going to call these French bread or baguettes, because they are neither. What they are, though, is good. My secret weapon, semolina flour, adds a richness to the bread that I love. These are softer loaves. Still substantial, but also a bit airy. They're perfect for sandwiches—soft enough to bite into without breaking teeth or gouging the roof of your mouth with sharp crusty shards, but hearty enough to stand up to whatever fillings you choose.

Smoked Rye Buns

[Photograph: Donna Currie] These would be great for any type of barbecue sandwich, with the added smokiness enhancing the sandwich in a way that a plain bun just couldn't do. Also great for a non-smoked sandwich where smoke would be...

Rieska (Finnish Rye Bread)

Versions of this traditional rye bread abound in Finland, ranging from crisp and cracker-like to thick and hearty. This is in the latter camp: a slightly dense bread that's great for toasting and slathering with jam or honey.

70-Percent Hydration Bread Recipe | Bread Baking

Stretch and fold is about the easiest ways to handle a dough with very high hydration. But stretch and fold can be used with doughs of lesser hydration as well, as long as it's wet enough to stretch easily. If you've never tried this technique and you've always kneaded with a machine or by hand for up to 10 minutes, it will seem impossible that a few simple folds will give enough structure to the dough. But it works.
