Adapted from the cookbook Big Book of Bread Machine Recipes. I make this dense (meaning not high rising) bread in the cold months and serve with a hearty stew or soup. Not too sour a loaf of bread either as some black bread can be.

Tips for Making Russian Black Bread in a Bread Machine

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your bread will be. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
Be precise with your measurements. Bread making is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, and make sure you level off each cup.
Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or ingredients, and make sure you follow the recipe in the correct order. If you're new to bread making, it's a good idea to read through the recipe several times before you start baking.
Be patient. Bread making takes time. Don't expect your bread to be ready in less than 3 hours. The longer you let the dough rise, the better the flavor and texture of your bread will be.
Enjoy your bread! Once your bread is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Russian black bread is delicious on its own, or you can use it to make sandwiches, toast, or croutons.
