Private Selection Dark Rye Wide Pan Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of dark rye bread baked in a wide pan. It is made with rye flour, which gives it a distinctive color and flavor. The bread has a dense texture and a slightly tangy taste. The wide pan baking style results in slices that are broader and flatter than those from a standard loaf pan. This shape can be convenient for certain sandwich preparations.
