Description

There are several types of rye flour with medium being the most commonly used.  The types of rye flour signify how coarsely they are ground.  Light rye is the finest, dark rye (also known as pumpernickel rye) is the coarsest and medium is in the middle.  Rye flour has a lower gluten and protein content than wheat flour.  Due to this, the bread that is made with mostly rye flour is very dense with very small holes in the crumb.  For this reason, many bakers prefer to  combine rye flour with a higher protein wheat flour to produce a loaf of bread that is well-risen while keeping the distinct hearty, robust flavor of the rye.  Other reasons for using rye flour in your bread recipes include that it is high in dietary fiber and contains valuable vitamins and minerals such as manganese, phosphorous and selenium.
