Rye flour does have gluten in it, just less than wheat flour. But it's still sooo tasty.<BR/><BR/>Earl - this is one recipe I've been wanting to try because it looks so ridiculously easy and it has beer in it - http://www.recipesource.com/baked-goods/breads/00/rec0065.html<BR/><BR/>It's literally self-rising flour, sugar, and beer. I suppose you could substitute rye flour, baking soda, and salt for the self-rising flour, and then you got yourself some tasty rye beer bread!! mmmm....<BR/><BR/>I used to make bread every week. I always had fresh bread in the house, and never store-bought. I wanna start doing that again, and make some rye bread!! :DEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734212780592874256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-23601398724163390972008-04-10T12:49:00.000-04:002008-04-10T12:49:00.000-04:00Mel - C'mon...you know you want it!Lotus - Do the ...Mel - C'mon...you know you want it!<BR/><BR/>Lotus - Do the caraway seeds hurt when you pull it out? ;)<BR/><BR/>Slyde - 1st off - A Top Gun reference?
