In a rush? You can skip straight to the Beginner Dark Rye Sandwich Bread Recipe on my Tumblr or you can jump to my Just the Basics section.
My beginner light rye sandwich recipe has garnered a bit of attention on Pinterest lately. I love that recipe because it helped me become familiar with rye flour and its taste and texture. I’ve played around quite a bit with rye since then, and it’s been a lot of fun working rye flour into a few sourdough recipes.
But my light rye loaf never quite matches store-bought rye loaves. The bread on the shelves always has a darker, richer color and deeper flavor. So this week I thought I’d try my hand at making a dark rye sandwich bread recipe.
Although it took some experimentation to get the flavor and texture just right, I’m proud to present this bread for beginners.
