Roundy's Seeded Rye Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with rye flour and a mix of seeds. Rye flour gives the bread a distinctive earthy flavor and a denser texture compared to wheat bread. The seeds, often including caraway, sunflower, or flax, add a pleasant crunch and visual appeal. It is typically baked into a loaf shape, ready for slicing and serving.
How people cook with it
Seeded rye bread is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple sandwiches to accompanying meals.
- Sandwich base
- Toasted with butter
- Served with soup
- Open-faced sandwiches
Slice the bread to your desired thickness. It can be eaten fresh, straight from the package, or toasted for a crispier texture. Toasting brings out the nutty flavors of the seeds and rye. It pairs well with a variety of spreads, cheeses, and meats. For open-faced options, layer toppings generously on a slice. It also makes a sturdy base for hearty stews or rich pâtés.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, seeded rye has a darker color, a more robust flavor profile, and a chewier crumb due to the rye flour. The inclusion of seeds differentiates it from plain rye bread, adding textural contrast and a nutty element.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions in a cool, dry place, ideally in a bread box or a tightly sealed bag. Avoid refrigeration, as it can dry out the bread. Properly stored, it will remain enjoyable for several days.
