Jewish rye

Caraway-flecked loaf

Jewish rye is a type of rye bread associated with Jewish American delicatessens, typically lighter in color than European ryes and often studded with caraway seeds.

It's the classic bread for pastrami and corned beef sandwiches: I'll have the Reuben on Jewish rye.

The rye flavor is mild compared to pumpernickel or German varieties.
