GERMAN RYE

$12.00

An American take on Frankenlaib, a Bavarian rye loaf, seasoned with caraway, fennel and orange

Profile:

Flavor Notes: Earthy, peppery, with hints of fennel, caraway, and orange


Crumb:
Burnished crunchy crust, hearty, moist crumb


Perfect for:
Thanksgiving leftover-turkey sandwich, pastrami sandwich, Frühstück

Why this bread:

I’ve long enjoyed the deeply moody personality of rye. Its flavor is robust and earthy, bringing with it a presence that calls attention in every bite. A sandwich made with true rye bread doesn’t simply use it as a vessel—it treats the bread as an equal ingredient, as essential as the pastrami, the cheese, or anything else layered within. Rye feels like a sign of a changing season, a quiet reminder that we’ve turned darker, more inward.

Ingredients & Sourcing:

Grapewood Farms Danko Rye

Montross, Virginia

About the grain:
Danko rye is a polish heirloom rye variety known for its strong fermentation performance and robust rye flavor. This loaf highlights its naturally earthy, slightly spicy grain profile.
