I had some leftover pumpkin and thought I'd try to make a bread...then remembered I had alot of rye flour left from a previous bread making day. So decided to combine them. :o) Taste super good...this make a dense more heavy bread verses light and fluffy.

At that time, continue to knead dough another 2-3 minutes.

    Dump dough into a buttered, sprayed or oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean lint free dish towel, such as a tea towel. Place in warm area to rise.
