Rye bread

There's more than one other being eyeing the rye bread immediately after it is baked

My hubby is a fan of bread. In spite of his rice eating background, he can subsist on bread and never complain. Rye is one of his favorite, a recent pleasurable discovery , because of its  nutty and robust taste. As rye is low in gluten, I use it as a small component of the regular bread recipe.

A thin slice of rye bread, laced with cream cheese, smoked meat is always a family favorite, lunch or dinner.
