This is a wonderful bread, though you have to be in the mood for it. It's dense, substantial, and I think best when thoroughly toasted. One of the nice things about these ryes is the time from mix to bake is very short, which makes it easier for me to squeeze into a morning schedule. This bread also keeps very well. I've had loaves last a couple weeks, though as Angus always expects a piece for breakfast, it's unlikely for one to last that long!
