What is Rye Bread?
Bread is one of the oldest recipes known to man, and has been in use for at least several thousand years. It is unknown at what point rye bread came into being, but rye grain was introduced in about 500 CE when the Danes and the Saxons settled in Britain. Rye bread is made either entirely or partially with rye flour, and traditionally has a dark color, although many lighter varieties of light-colored rye bread have become common.
