Calling this the best rye bread is not a claim I make lightly. With a delicious, slightly crispy crust, an airy, soft crumb and incredible flavor from an overnight starter, this rye bread is truly going to be the most amazing bread you made or ate. Use it for your favorite sandwiches or toast it and top it with a dab of vegan butter!

I love rye, a wonder grain known for its many nutritional properties and health benefits. The high-quality fiber found in whole-grain rye promotes heart health, fights diabetes and inflammation, and can help with weight loss.
