rd95 and I made rye bread. This was our first time making a bread with yeast. I was hungry and gave that sucker no time to cool before chowing it with rosemary and garlic oil and minestrone soup.

Bread smelled amazing while baking but if we make it again we will double the amount of caraway seeds that the recipe called for.

Now that I've had time to think about it, maybe one and a half times the caraway seeds. Too much and it can quickly become an overwhelming flavor. That said, I liked our idea of trying to make a rye soda bread. Something about that just seems easier.

. . . we need to learn how to make naan while we're at it.
