Very unusual ingredients. Is the Caraway and Fennel a predominant flavor? Sounds like it would make a good Reuben.

You can for sure taste the fennel and caraway, and a hint of th onion...the cocoa and coffee are just for the color...it is such a good bread when still warm...going to bring some to Holiday gathering...made some tonight with soup...vrey good!!!It would make an excellent Reuben sandwich...

Ahh, no bread machine!!! How long in the oven to cook?

 

[NorthernWinos]

Sorry, I couldn't tell you how long to bake in an oven, I only use a bread machine. But if you make other bread you could bake it for an average 1 1/2# loaf of whole wheat or rye.The bread machine bakes it for 55 minutes, but don't know the temp inside there.

It is an awesome rye bread.

Merry Christmas Linda and all on the Forum...
