Our dark rye sourdough covered in a mix of five seeds - very tasty and wholesome. This is a 'black' rye bread, made with 100% dark wholemeal rye flour. It is similar to the traditional rye breads made in Scandinavian countries. It has a distinctive earthy, rich flavour & a chewy crust. Due to the lower gluten content of rye flour the bread rises less than other varieties & has a correspondingly dense, moist crumb structure. It is best eaten toasted. This bread does tend to be a bit of an acquired taste but those who take to it do become avid fans!

This is also a sourdough bread. This means that it contains no added yeast but is leavened by the addition of a 'starter' or 'leaven'- a mixture of bread flour & water which attracts natural yeasts from the environment & creates a gentle fermentation culture.

Ingredients: dark wholemeal rye flour, water, rye leaven (dark wholemeal rye flour, water), salt, seed mix (poppy, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, linseed). Allergens in bold.

This bread is available in small (400g) or large (800g) sized loaves.
