But do not mix salt with yeast. Salt will negate the action of the yeast.) Add the flour, make a small dent in flour and place yeast in dent. Set machine on dough setting. Preheat oven to 350°F. When cycle is finished, remove dough and cut into two pieces. Cut each of the two pieces into three pieces for braids. Braid dough and shape. Let rise until about double.

Steps:
- Add the wet ingredients to your bread machine (water, oil, honey). Next add the salt, potato flakes and oats.
- Into a measuring cup, put the rye flour and graham flour. Add enough regular bread flour to make 3 1/2 cups. Pour this into the bread machine on top of the wet ingredients.
- Make a "well" in the flour mixture and add the yeast. Use the "whole wheat" cycle on your machine, 2 pound loaf, dark crust. Turn the machine on and you will have a delicious loaf in a little over 3 hours. NOTE: WATCH THE CONSISTENCY of the mixture as it mixes. If it seems too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms a "ball" around the paddle. If it is too wet, add one tablespoon of flour at a time.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Flour: Select high-quality rye flour and graham flour for the authentic Finnish rye-graham bread experience.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the bread machine. This ensures the yeast is active and will properly leaven the bread.
- Follow the Correct Order: Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order specified in the recipe. This helps ensure the ingredients mix evenly and the bread bakes correctly.
- Customize to Your Taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of caraway seeds, molasses, or salt to suit your taste preferences.
- Monitor the Baking Process: Keep an eye on the bread as it bakes. If the crust gets too dark, you can cover the bread with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.

Baking Finnish rye-graham bread in a bread machine is a convenient and rewarding experience. By following the simple steps and tips outlined in this article, you can create a delicious and authentic loaf of bread that is perfect for any occasion.
