Sauerkraut Bread

This sauerkraut bread is very moist and delicious. The sauerkraut makes it taste like sour dough bread. The caraway seeds or fennel seeds, which pair very well with sauerkraut, make this a distinctive hearty bread
Ingredients:
1 cup sauerkraut rinsed and drained
1/2 cup milk
2 tbs molasses
2 tbs butter or margarine
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caraway seeds or fennel seeds
1 cup rye flour
2 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dried yeast
Directions:
Place all the ingredients in a bread pan machine in the order listed above or follow your bread machine instruction manual. Press the dough start button and let the bread machine do the kneading, mixing and rising.
When the dough is done, remove from the bread machine. With your fist, punch dough to remove some air. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface. Shape dough into a long log about 12 inches
long.

Cut dough into 10 small pieces weighing about 4 oz each.

 Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Spray the baking sheet with oil. Place dough onto the prepared
baking sheet and spray more oil on top of each ball.

 Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 40 to 50 minutes or until double in size. Bake in preheated oven at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes.

You can bake in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and serve as sandwich bread.
