You can enjoy this Lithuanian rye bread straight from the package, or it can be lightly toasted to enhance its flavor and crispness. Toasting brings out the nutty notes of the rye and creates a pleasant crunch. It is excellent as a base for open-faced sandwiches, piled high with savory toppings. It also pairs wonderfully with hearty stews, rich pâtés, or simply spread with butter. For a quick snack, try it with a slice of cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
