Jewish rye bread
Caraway-seeded loaf
Jewish rye bread is a style of rye bread associated with Jewish bakeries in Eastern Europe and later in American cities.
It typically has a lighter crumb than German or Scandinavian ryes, uses a mix of rye and wheat flour, and often features caraway seeds and a chewy crust.
The bread became iconic in New York delis, served with pastrami, corned beef, or smoked fish: a Reuben on Jewish rye.
