Oh my, this is great bread!

Your Questions
- What size loaf does this make? A large–over 1 1/2 pound–loaf.
- What do I add? Just water. An SAF yeast packet is enclosed.Â
- What does it taste like? Like an authentic New York rye bread. You can taste the rye and the caraway seeds if you choose to use them.
- What’s this bread like? Well, it’s a creamy-white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. The crust is lightly crunchy.
- How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it’s six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
- Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees. We tell you 80 degrees. That’s easier to remember.
- What if I don’t have a bread machine? It’s easy to make in your oven.
- It says “no preservatives.” How long will it last? It doesn’t have three weeks of preservatives like in the stores. We recommend not more than five days on the counter. If you’re not going to use it all, slice it and put it in the freezer. Thaw it in the toaster.
You’ll make a homemade deli loaf in your kitchen. Homemade is always better.
