    If you are looking for the extremely dense chewy kind, Ikea has this mix:

      Bread Machine Mock Dark Rye Bread

      I wanted some dark rye bread and didin't have any rye flour so I decided to make it using whole wheat flour.

      Here is the resulting recipe. It makes a dark loaf that looks like and tastes like dark rye. Most of the flavor comes from the caraway seeds.
      It is really good for sandwiches and has a crumb like honey wheat bread.

      Ingredients

      1 1/4 cups water
      2 Tablespoons molasses or dark corn syrup
      1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
      1 teaspoon salt
      2 cups all-purpose flour
      1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
      2 Tablespoons yellow corn meal
      3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
      1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
      1 Tablespoon caraway seed (or to taste)
      2 1/4 teaspoons (or 1 packet) bread machine or instant yeast

      Directions

      Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

      Select the BASIC or WHITE BREAD cycle, 1 1/2 pounds and press START.

      Monitor the first few minutes of kneading. If necessary to form a smooth, non-stick dough ball, add more flour or water a tablespoon at a time, as needed.

      Makes one 1 1/2 lb loaf.
