Russian Black Bread Recipe


Russian Black Bread Recipe
I used to buy this bread from a local specialty bread store. No More ! This is outstanding. Moist, earthy, and robust. You will have to forgive me. I adapted this recipe from a bread machine recipe that said " Put ingredients in machine and turn on."
