How to Make Walnut Rye Bread

Add all ingredients (except walnuts) to your bread machine in the order listed below.
Set your bread machine to the whole wheat or fruit/nut cycle, selecting your desired loaf size and crust color.
After 5 minutes, check the dough. If it's too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it's too wet, add bread flour 1 teaspoon at a time.
When the machine beeps (usually indicating the addition of nuts/fruits), or towards the end of the kneading cycle, add the chopped walnuts.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the machine and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the internal structure to set and prevents a gummy texture.
Enjoy your homemade Walnut Rye Bread! Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
