1 c White grape juice; 4 c Rye flour
1 pk Quick-rise yeast; (1 tb) -plus up tp 1/2 cup
1 ts Salt

Warm the water and grape juice to about 115 F and stir in the yeast.

the oven temperature to 350 F for an additional 35 to 45 minutes of
baking. Remove it from the oven when the loaf is brown and has pulled
away from the sides of the pan slightly. Makes one loaf.
