The best way to remember a bread recipe is to write it down...then send it to a friend...

Trouble is that I don't measure! So I can remember WHAT I put in, but mostly just eyeball the amounts.

Here's a guess...should be fairly close! I know the water amount is right...that's the one thing I DO measure.

1 1/3 cup water
1/3 cup molasses
1 package yeast
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
white flour to make a soft dough

Mix first three ingredients and let stand until foamy. Add egg, salt and wheat flour, mix. Stir in the rye flour, and then add white flour a little at a time until the dough is stiff and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl into a ball. Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (test by poking your finger into the ball of dough...when it springs back and almost fills the hole, you've kneaded enough), adding a little flour as necessary to avoid sticking.

Put the dough back in the bowl (I usually rinse it out and put a little oil in it) and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise for an hour or until puffy - it won't double, as the dough is fairly heavy. Form your loaf (one big round one is easiest) and let rise for another hour or so. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

Actually I think that should be more like 1/4 cup molasses. It turned out fairly sweet, and I don't think I used a whole third of a cup.
