When I was a kid, my mum would often get rye bread from the bakery from around the corner. This one taste exactly like it – it is very moist and full in flavor. Another great and quick recipe, Claudio! I was so hungry, that I couldn’t wait to cut it as you can tell by one of the following pictures…ya, you should never cut a bread while it is still hot! What can I say – I just couldn’t resist. Sorry!
