16 servings

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup light molasses
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seed
  • 1 tablespoon anise seed
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seed
  • 1 tablespoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  • Heat milk in a medium saucepan until scalding and small bubbles are forming around the edges, but just before the milk reaches a boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in the water, butter, molasses, sugar, orange zest, anise seed, caraway seed, cardamom and salt; allow to step and cool 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • In a bread maker, stir the yeast into the warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour the cooled milk and spice mixture into the bread machine with the yeast mixture. Add the flour to the bread machine. Run the bread machine on the dough cycle.
  • Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. When the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine, divide in half, form into 2 loaves, and place in the prepared loaf pans. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until your finger leaves a small dent when you poke the loaves.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake the loaves until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 35 to 40 minutes. Brush the hot loaves with melted butter; cool before serving.
