Useful tips for cooking rye bread in a slow cooker
- The secret of successful bread, both black and white, lies in strict adherence to the proportions of the components indicated in the recipe. If you make the dough too liquid, the bread will turn out sticky and heavy, and the dough, filled too much with flour, will be hard and dry out quickly.
- The dough must be kneaded until it becomes elastic and does not stick to your hands. Thoroughly kneaded dough of sufficient softness will give the desired porosity to the finished bread.
- You cannot over-expose the loaf during proofing, otherwise deep cracks will appear on its surface during the baking process.
- If you want the loaf to rise evenly, stick dry hollow pasta into it in several places before baking.
- Rye bread should be baked using good, dry and soft flour. It’s not difficult to check its quality: squeeze it in your fist and see if the lump crumbles well. If it’s good, then the flour is suitable for baking.
- Sifting flour, especially for making bread, is a must. This way more oxygen gets into it, and the finished bread turns out airier.
- White wheat flour is often added to the dough for rye bread. Its proportions relative to other components must also be strictly observed.
Rye bread with milk in a slow cooker
Of the simplest, one might say, classic recipes, bread with milk is quite popular. We will not prepare a starter for it, but will use dry yeast - the simplest but most effective option. Here are the ingredients we need for this recipe:
- rye flour – 450 g;
- white flour – 3 tbsp;
- water – 100 ml;
- milk – 320 ml;
- dry yeast – 11 g;
- salt – 2 tsp;
- sugar – 1 tsp;
- sunflower oil.
Let's bake rye bread with milk in a slow cooker according to the instructions:
- Measure flour according to instructions, mix and sift into one bowl.
- Add dry yeast; no need to dissolve it in water first. Also add sugar and salt. Mix all dry ingredients.
- Now you can add liquid to the dough. Please note that it should be slightly warm, approximately the same as body temperature. Therefore, heat water and milk on the stove and pour into the flour. Do not overheat the liquid, otherwise the yeast will not work and the bread will not rise.
- Mix the dough with your hands, and since it will periodically stick to your hands, grease them with vegetable oil from time to time. At first it is convenient to knead in a bowl, and then on a sprinkled table. Try to ensure that the dough reaches the desired elasticity.
- Place it back into the bowl and cover. Place in a warm place and let it rise there for about an hour.
- Grease the multicooker mold, knead the risen dough and transfer it there. Place the appliance on preheat and let the bread rise for 30 minutes. By the way, in some models the heating function produces too high a temperature. Therefore, you can use other modes with a temperature of about 40-45 °C or warm up the bowl for about 5 minutes, then turn it off and send the dough there.
- Activate the “Baking” or “Bread” option and bake rye bread in a multicooker at a temperature of 150 °C for 1 hour. After about 40 minutes from the start of the process, turn the loaf upside down so that a crust forms on all sides.
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of yeast (11 g)
- 2 cups rye flour
- 700 g wheat flour
- 1 incomplete art. l. coarse salt
- 1 tbsp. spoon of sugar
- 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil (optional)
- 500 ml warm water
This time I kneaded the dough for rye bread in a bread machine. I placed the ingredients in the bucket in the order described in the recipe.
If the dough is kneaded by hand, then you need to dissolve the yeast in warm water, add salt, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix. Gradually stir in flour. You don’t need to pour in all the flour at once; you may not need all of it, because there are different types of flour. The dough should not be tight, but it should not stick to your hands.
For example, when kneading the dough in a bread machine with wheat flour, I needed 100 grams less than when kneading the dough by hand. For kneading in the bread machine it took: 600 g of wheat flour and 260 g of rye flour (2 cups of 200 ml). I weighed everything on a kitchen scale.
Place the bowl with the dough in a warm place, the dough should double in size, in the summer it usually takes 40 - 50 minutes to proof, in the winter - 60 - 80 minutes.
You can melt the dough in a multicooker; to do this, put the dough ball in the multicooker, turn on the “heating” and let the multicooker warm up a little, then turn it off and leave the dough alone.
Here is our suitable dough:
After the dough has risen, put it on the table, knead it again and form a ball.
Place our dough ball into a greased bowl and reheat the multicooker using the “keep warm” mode (10 - 15 minutes).
Let the bread rise, for me it usually rises until the last bits of rice (usually it takes 40 - 50 minutes).
The dough has risen, close the lid, set the “baking” mode:
We bake bread with rye flour in a Panasonic multicooker in the “baking” mode for 60 minutes on one side and 40 minutes on the other.
This is what rye bread will look like in a slow cooker after 60 minutes of baking:
And this is the bread upside down:
You need to turn the bread over very carefully, it is best to use a large towel, wrap the bowl with the towel and turn the bowl over onto the table with it.
Carefully remove the finished rye bread from the multicooker and let it cool, covering it with a towel.
The bread turns out very tasty, soft and fluffy. Bon appetit!!!
Ingredients:
- 3.5 cups rye flour (450-500g.)

- 11 gr. dry yeast (small packet)
- 2 multi-cups milk (320ml)
- 100 ml water
- 1 tsp Sahara
- 2 tsp salt
- vegetable oil for greasing the mold
I would like to tell all lovers of home baking about rye bread, which, unfortunately, is often ignored. In Rus', such bread was known already in the 11th century and for a very long time was considered the lot of the poor, while wealthy people preferred white bread.

But, be that as it may, eating properly prepared rye bread is a real pleasure; everyone in my family likes it.

Homemade Bread Recipes
Rye flour differs from wheat flour in its high content of fiber, vitamins and beneficial amino acids. Another difference is the difficulty of kneading rye dough at home. It is stickier, heavier, capricious and requires skillful handling during kneading. However, homemade rye bread is healthier because natural and high-quality ingredients are used during preparation. Also, rye bread contains fewer calories than white bread, and can be baked with various additives: spices, herbs, honey, molasses, nuts, berries, etc.

Then select the “multi-cook” program, temperature - 40 ° C, heating time - 60 minutes. When the dough has risen, place it on a floured surface, knead it and knead again. The second proofing usually takes no more than 20 minutes. Grease the bowl again with oil and transfer the dough.
