dark bread
Dense, heavy loaf
Dark bread is bread made with whole grains, rye, or molasses that give it a brown or dark color, as opposed to white bread made from refined flour.
The term is broad and informal, covering everything from pumpernickel to whole wheat: I'll have the turkey on dark bread.
Dark breads are often perceived as heartier or more nutritious.
