sourdough rye

Fermented dark bread

Sourdough rye is bread made from rye flour using a sourdough starter rather than commercial yeast.

The fermentation produces a tangy flavor that complements rye's earthy, slightly bitter taste.

The bread is denser than wheat loaves and popular in Northern and Eastern European cuisines: a pastrami sandwich on sourdough rye.
