caraway rye

Spiced dark bread

Caraway rye is bread made with rye flour and flavored with caraway seeds—the combination so common that many people assume the distinctive taste of "rye bread" comes from the grain itself rather than the seeds.

Jewish delis and German bakeries made this pairing standard in American cuisine: a pastrami on caraway rye.
