What makes rye bread different?<\/h3>\n

Rye bread is made from rye flour, a powder milled from whole rye berries or grains from ryegrass. Rye is a hardy grain that’s heavier and darker than other flours, producing a denser, darker bread. Because it’s so dense, it doesn’t rise as much as traditional wheat flour. Rye bread is very popular in northern and eastern European countries, and it comes in several varieties, ranging from light to dark. Pumpernickel, the darkest rye bread, is made of coarsely ground whole rye grains.
\nMarbled rye bread, the recipe we’re sharing below, has a dark swirl and a light swirl. It’s a common misconception that the darker swirl is pumpernickel. It’s actually the same dough with added cocoa to give it a deeper flavor, but not enough for it to taste chocolaty.<\/p>\n

Tips for buying rye flour<\/h3>\n

There are a variety of rye flours, so it may seem overwhelming at first. But it’s pretty simple: the darker the rye flour, the deeper the flavor.<\/p>\n

The main difference between light, medium and dark rye flours is the amount of bran left after processing. The more bran, the darker it is. Because the bran holds most of the nutrients, the darker rye flours are naturally more nutritious. White or light rye is the rye equivalent of all-purpose flour. It gives the lightest rye flavor and the highest-rising bread.<\/p>\n

Medium and dark rye has been milled closer to the bran, producing a richer flavor. Pumpernickel, the darkest rye flour, includes the entire rye berry and is rye’s equivalent to whole wheat flour.<\/p>\n

Many recipes mix all-purpose white flour with rye flour to give the best of both worlds: rye flavor and a higher rise. One common proportion is 25% rye flour to 75% all-purpose flour. This allows the rye flavor to come through while giving a dough that’s easier to work with (rye dough can be tough to form into loaves).<\/p>\n
