A hearty and flavorful bread perfect for sandwiches or enjoying with butter.
Add the warm water, applesauce, molasses, and vinegar to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the sugar, salt, fennel seed, caraway seed, and coffee granules over the liquid.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Add the rye flour and all-purpose flour to the pan, covering the liquid completely.
Layer the flour to prevent the yeast from contacting the liquid prematurely.
Make a small well in the flour and add the yeast.
Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid before mixing starts.
Select the basic bread setting on your bread machine and start the cycle.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure it forms a smooth ball.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
Cooling the bread prevents it from becoming soggy and allows the texture to set.
Slice the bread and serve warm with butter or use it for sandwiches.
For the best flavor, serve the bread slightly warm.
