rye bread

Pumpernickel's lighter cousin

Rye bread is bread made with rye flour, giving it a denser texture and slightly sour, earthy flavor compared to wheat bread.

The color ranges from light to very dark depending on the proportion of rye.

Varieties include Jewish rye, pumpernickel, and Scandinavian crispbreads.

I'll have the pastrami on rye.
