This is a great bread to have with Borscht. To demonstrate our immense egocentrism, we included a breadmaker version. We have a breadmaker, and think you should too. If you don't have one, you have four choices. 1: Run out and buy one. 2: Improvise in the lab by substituting your advisor's centrifuge. 3: Make bread from scratch, using the kneading and rising instructions from any heavy bread recipe and the ingredients from here. 4: (what you'll probably do) Run down to Weg's and buy the blackest thing they have.
