Russian Black Bread (Bread Machine) image

Adapted from the cookbook Big Book of Bread Machine Recipes. I make this *dense* (meaning not high rising) bread in the cold months and serve with a hearty stew or soup. Not too sour a loaf of bread either as some black bread can be.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a different one next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread turned out really dense. It's still edible, but it's not as good as I hoped it would be.

This bread is so good! I love the slight sour tang. It's the perfect bread for sandwiches or toast.

I've never had Russian black bread before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It's delicious! The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I love the flavor of this bread, but it's a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more water next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The bread is delicious and it's so easy to make. I've already made it twice and it's been a hit both times.

I had some trouble getting the bread to rise, but it eventually turned out okay. The flavor is good, but the texture is a bit dense.

This bread is a bit too sour for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less sourdough starter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt.
