Farfallina's New York Rye Bread

Farfallina is a member of Forumthermomix. She posts interesting recipes which she has often adapted from other recipes. This is one of her Bread recipes that is truly delicious, and also keeps well. I have substituted caraway seeds for the cumin seeds as this reminds me of the rye bread that I love
