Easy Rye Bread

Easy Rye Bread

In Chile, rye bread is one of the most popular whole-grain bread. Rye flour is added to traditional Chilean bread, like Hallullas or Marraquetas. In Spanish, rye is known as Centeno. White wheat flour is sometimes referred to as Trigo Candeal.

This Rye bread has a tight, dense crumb and delicious flavor. Perfect for slicing for toast or a sandwich. I’ve always liked whole-grain food, probably because my mom favored them, so I grew used to its flavor and texture. They can be an acquired taste too, and rye is a great introduction.

In the USA, rye flour is commonly combined with caraway, and many people think of rye as having a licorice flavor. This is not true at all; rye is mild and sweet. My mom used to bake whole-grain crackers; they were my favorites, but she doesn’t remember the recipe.

Some time ago, I tried to bake them with whole wheat flour, but something was missing, and now I realize it was rye flour. In this recipe, you can play with the flour: adding flour or oat flakes, flaxseeds, and other grains to this bread in the US, rye flour, or pumpernickel (the bread will be darker).
