Marble Rye Bread

Bread that is made with a combination of pumpernickel rye and traditional rye dough or pumpernickel rye and sourdough to create a hearty flavored sandwich bread. This type of bread is often considered to be "deli-style" bread that can be filled with various meats and seasonings to create an enjoyable sandwich meal. The crust is generally chewing and somewhat crispy, while the texture is fairly dense. The addition of molasses gives the rye a distinctively rich flavor and dark brown color.
