 NB>>> Here's the recipe for my Swedish Christmas rye bread:

 NB>> If/when you try it as a Christmas bread, you may want to see if Steve

 RH> Either he will or my repurposed coffee grinder will, I won't try it

You'd've figured it out quick enough, I expect...  :)  I never tried it
as a plain (or with caraway) rye bread... I'd think it would work out
fine...  My starting point for the recipe, along with Margit's input,
was a rye bread recipe in Uncle John's Bread Book, a paperback that I
had in my collection...  Of all the available ones in all my books, that
one seemed to be the best beginning for the project...  :) 
 
 NB>>> This recipe presumes some basic knowledge of baking bread.
 RH>> I've been baking bread for close to 40 years so I'd say I had a bit of
 RH>> basic knowledge. (G)
 NB>> I would hope so.  I put that phrase in for the benefit of the boys, or
 NB>> their eventual wives, that might be inclined to take it on... So I
 NB>> didn't bother to define proofing, or kneading, etc...  ;)  I did a
 NB>> straight insert of the file into the message, no editing...  ;)

 RH> I figured, if I didn't know how to do bread at this point, I'd not
 RH> have been eating as good as I have been. (G)

For sure.  :)
 
 RH>> Don is going to try making Mom's fruitcake this year. (G)
 NB>> More power to him..  :)  Does he do much baking, or will this be a new
 NB>> experience for him...?

 RH> I think he does more cooking than baking. Reminds me, I need to give
 RH> him an update on things here.

Did he at least know you were looking for a house to settle into...?

 RH>> Thanks for
 RH>> the recipe; I'll try it once all my baking stuff is unearthed.
 NB>> Have fun with it..  :)

 RH> We will, and burn off calories/carbs as we unpack and set up the
 RH> house. 

Let me know how it turns out for you.   :)
