MEYER’S DARK RYE BREAD WITH RYE BERRIES & PUMPKIN SEED
"Text excerpted from MEYER'S BAKERY © 2017 by Claus Meyer ||| This is one of my personal favourites, and it’s also the most popular rye bread in our bakeries. It’s a light and tender loaf that stays fresh for a long time. Here, the fabulous, intense taste of dark malt and rye is supplemented by the lovely crunchiness of pumpkin seeds. If you can’t get your hands on cut rye berries, which give the bread a chewy bite, you can just as easily use cracked rye berries."
