Traditional rye bread, the kind from Jewish delis adn bakeries, is made
from clear flour(a less refined white flour) and about equal parts of
medium rye flour. this is risen with a sour, or fermented flour (mostly
rye). This rises nicely and is baked in an oven with steam to make the
wonderful chewy crust.

There are some supemarket full whole grain ryes, like Wilds and
Ruben-something(senior moment) wich are small, heavy loaves of very dense,
but delicious breads, often square and wrapped in cellophane.
