Marbled rye bread

hi the freshloafers,

I make this marbled rye bread purely for its aesthetic value.  Its made with a dark and light whole rye/ wheat mixed dough.  A great little bread to serve for brunch.  It does also taste very nice!  for details, photos and instructions to get that great swirl effect follow me back to mybreadandbrot.

..on the internet. In this case, top Kiwi baker Dean Brettschneider probably deserves the credit (http://www.globalbaker.com/recipes/recipe008.htm). It may be he's not the first, in which case let's start a chain.

Anyway, it's a great loaf, I make it often. Have you tried it with caraway? With the cocoa and molasses, it enhances the complex flavours.

Oh yes, that is the same recipe that I found on ladleandwhisks, to whom I gave the credit!!.  Thanks for pointing that out, I didnt know that.   I will amend my blog post to acknowledge Brettschneider too.  

Its funny because I thought of dean brettschnieder when I was making this bread.  I have made the German Vollkorn bread from dean brettschnieder where he also uses cocoa to darken the dough, I should have made the connection, thanks that you made it for me!!

 I must try it with caraway too!
