These two breads are my favourites.
As you know flour and water portions are to be adjusted accordingly. When kneadding if to hard add more water just untila nice soft pull away from sides ball.
Or too soft add more flour just til a nice soft pull away from sides ball.

Usually I alway add to my rye breads one tbsp. of gluten regardless of the cups amount of flour. This is not necessary though. Hope you try these and enjoy them.
I also make a sauerkraut rye bread and a citrus rye bread.

Thanks and bye for now
