  1. This is very nice bread! It's got a good rye flavor and is chewy without being heavy. The cranberries do add a nice note of sweetness (I increased them a little.) I personally like my bread dough well salted, and think that the amount of salt here is just right, but people who are more sensitive to salty food might decrease the salt some. I doubled the recipe and made the bread by hand. I hadn't intended to make bread at all today - I'm blaming the photograph. Rita, if you must post photos, please make them a little less appetizing looking. Thank you for the recipe.
