Help with my Rye Bread Recipe

The following is a recipe I use with in my bread machine - Breadman TR441.  Original is for 2lb loaf, I have adjusted for 1.5 lb. After the recipe listing are my current admustments and questions/concerns

Recipe Adjustment Factor is 0.75 Times Original Amounts (Original Amounts in parentheses.)

Rye Bread Recipe

1 1/4 cups water 80 degrees (1 2/3 cup)
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil (2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons molasses (1/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered milk (2 tablespoons)
3/4 cup rye flour (1 cup)
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (1/2 cup)
2 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons bread flour (3 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds (2 tablespoons)
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (3 1/4 teaspoons)

No rye setting so I use whole wheat setting 3 hr, 40 min.

 

My adjustments:

1 cup rye flour

1/2 cup WW flour

1 1/2 cup unbleached bread flour

Results:  Flavor is ok, but loaf is still moist in center, and not getting much rise.  Trying to find as simple a recipe as possible.  trying to stay as "wholesome" as possible too.  i.e. not using standard white or all-purpose flower.  I would like the bread to be as "whole" rye & wheat as possible.

Thanks in advance to any input.  If anyone has an awesome rye bread machine recipe to share - that's great too!
