Homemade Rye Bread- has a gentle rye flavor that’s beautifully delicate and is sure to be enjoyed even if you’re not a lover of rye! It’ll surprise you just how easy it is to make at home!
I have a confession… I am not really a “rye bread” lover. I know surprising, right?! Y’all know how much I love breads but a heavy rye bread hasn’t ever been my thing.
This Homemade Rye Bread is not THAT kind of rye bread however, it’s delicate and moist with a gentle rye flavor that will please every palate. I actually love it, a lot. It’s perfect for making a delicious Reuben Sandwich!

Hi Ruthie,
I don’t have a mixer or machine… Just the hands the lord started me with. Can this recipe be done by hand? Any suggestions or ideas to try?
Ruthie says
Hi Wendy… you can knead it by hand for sure- just like any other bread recipe! It’s amazing and we hope you love it 🙂
