Rye Bread

So it all started when we fell in love with rye toast.

It’s out of this world.

But Publix didn’t carry rye flour. Or they used to; I found some on the clearance table and we devoured it.

So when we were out and I had tried twice to get it at Publix, I went to Amazon.

And found that the best price for rye flour was on Amazon…in a container of 6 5-pound bags.

I decided to go for it. We put most of the bags in the chest freezer, and I’ve been making rye bread once a week or so.

I was always surprised Mom was willing to make the mess involved in homemade bread, though we always loved the finished result. Now that I’m doing it on a more regular basis, I’m starting to see how she does it. The smell of fresh-baked bread, rye or whole wheat or white, is something unmatched by anything else. And the amazing taste of the bread just out of the oven makes me not mind the sticky dishes (most of the time).
