Caraway Bread

Caraway bread is a traditional baked good typical of Central European cuisine, particularly Czech, Slovak and German cooking. It is most often made from rye or mixed wheat-rye flour and features whole or crushed caraway seeds as its defining ingredient. The seeds give the bread its unmistakable aromatic flavour and also aid digestion. It pairs well with savoury dishes, soups, cured meats and cheeses, and makes an excellent base for open-faced sandwiches. It tastes great fresh or toasted. Thanks to the rye flour, it has a denser crumb and a longer shelf life than white wheat bread.
