dark rye

Dense European loaf

Dark rye is rye bread made with a higher proportion of whole rye flour, giving it a deeper color and more robust flavor than light rye.

The darkness comes from the flour itself or additions like cocoa, molasses, or caraway seeds.

I'll have the pastrami on dark rye.

Common in Jewish delis and German bakeries.
