Wow, it looks like the bread rose well. Sure it tore, but otherwise it looks impressive. On mine, I liked the taste, but after it had sat for a few days. Nice donuts too. I’ve never had apple cider donuts, but they look mighty tasty.

No, I’m not a big fan of caraway seeds, so I didn’t add them. But they might have helped. It doesn’t taste bad, just kind of molasses-wheaty instead of rye.

The doughnut recipe I used was similar to this one: http://blueridgebaker.blogspot.com/2009/10/apple-cider-doughnuts.html

I wasn’t sure about posting it, since I had so many problems getting the right consistency and I didn’t know if it was my fault in converting or the recipe’s. My recipe said 3.5 cups of flour and the recipe in the link says 3.5 – 4 cups. I’m not sure how much I ended up using.

Well, given the choice, I’d go for the apple cider donuts over marbled rye any day! Those donuts look amazing and now I have to go and get a glass cake stand too. You’re right, everything looks better on one of those.

Did you add caraway seed to your rye bread? I found that helped with making the bread taste more authentically “rye”.

Still a pretty bread! I didn’t enjoy the taste either…must be an acquired taste. I also made this recipe in a 9×5 pan. I’m ready to head over to Joy the Baker and try some of her donut recipes.

I think I would rather have had the rye sour than the caramel coloring to make a swirl. I got that from KAF when we started the challenge, just for this recipe!

First of all, your doughnuts look wonderful!! I haven’t made homemade doughnuts in years, but I may have to try again soon.

I enjoyed the marbled rye. But I did mine in 9×5 inch pans based on a few other reviews I had read. And I added some rye sour to the recipe, which probably gave it more of a rye flavor.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy this bread. Ah, well. Press on!
