Roggenbrot (German Rye Hardbread) image

While we were stationed in Germany I ran across a lot of different foods that I like. Even though I grew up on these types of foods. I came away with a lot of new foods too that we have inducted into our traditional lifestyle.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get the bread to rise properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This bread is a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor is really good.
