Swedish Rye Bread

Ingredients:

1t Fennel seeds.
1t Cumin seeds.
1t Caraway seeds.
1/4c Cracked wheat.
2 1/4tb Margarine or butter.
2 1/4tb Molasses or barley malt.
1tb Grated fresh orange peel (zest).
1/4 ts Baking soda.
1 1/2c Whole wheat or rye flour (your choice will affect the taste - I prefer wheat).
1 1/2c High gluten bread flour.
2ts Dry yeast.
2tss Gluten (IMPORTANT!).
3tb Buttermilk powder.

Directions:

Combine the first 7 ingredients (using FRESH seeds only!) in 1 1/3 cup of boiling water and soak for 1 hour minimum(This pre-soaks the cracked wheat and pre-releases the other flavors).

Dump this concoction into a bowl and add the remaining 6 ingredients.

Set your bread machine to White and bake at the medium setting...

Manual -- do the normal knead and rise tricks. Bake at 350 F for 30 - 35 minutes (test this since oven temps. vary).
