Rye to go! Toppings that make every bite better

Rye bread is one of the most underrated and overlooked loaves. With its rich, hearty texture and slightly tangy flavour, rye bread makes the perfect base for a wide variety of toppings. Here are a few of our favourite combinations to fall in ‘loaf’ with your rye.

1. Smashed Avocado with Parsley and Olive Oil

Looking for a fresh, satisfying snack? This simple topping brings the creamy goodness of avocado to life with a touch of fragrant parsley and the richness of olive oil.

How to make it:

• Mash half an avocado and spread it generously over a slice of toasted rye bread.
• Drizzle with a good-quality olive oil, and season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
• Top with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of green freshness.
• Optional: Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty finish!

2. Crumbled Feta and Pomegranate Seeds

For a savoury yet slightly sweet combination, this topping strikes the perfect balance of flavours. The creamy feta pairs beautifully with the sweet, juicy pomegranate seeds, while the olive oil brings it all together.

How to make it:

• Crumble some feta cheese and spread it over a slice of rye bread.
• Sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds for a pop of colour and sweetness.
• Drizzle with olive oil, and season with a touch of black pepper.
• Optional: A sprinkle of dried oregano or mint will add an extra layer of flavour.

3. Hummus and Tomato

This simple yet satisfying combo brings together the smooth, creamy texture of hummus and the bright, juicy flavour of ripe tomatoes. It’s the perfect savoury snack or light meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

How to make it:

• Spread a thick layer of your favourite hummus on a slice of rye bread.
• Top with sliced ripe tomatoes, arranged neatly on top.
• Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or rocket for some extra greenery and flavour.

The Launch of our ‘Pure Loaf’ Sourdough Rye

After the success of our other Rye loaves, like our Wheat & Rye ‘Labour of Loaf’, we’ve decided to introduce a new loaf into the Good In Bread family; this one is our 100% rye sourdough with a rich and complex flavour profile.

Apart from being extremely fragrant with that lovely earthy aroma, this bread is much more dense than many store bought loaves, making it a filling and nutritious breakfast or side for your soup or salad.

Its density makes it great for both open or closed sandwiches; enjoy it with your favourite cheese and/or salami, or it can be enjoyed toasted with sweeter options like our Raspberry Jam or or our Isle of Purbeck Honey. 

This rye is perfect for those who want to reduce their wheat intake or who are gluten sensitive, because rye flour is inherently lower in gluten than other wheat flours.

Ingredients:

Rye starter (flour & water), water, wholemeal dark flour, wholemeal light rye flour

May contain traces of peanuts and other tree nuts. 

Weight: 750g / loaf

Care instructions:
Pre-sliced: Enjoy right away or freeze in bags provided.

Unsliced: Keep inside kraft or linen bag and preferably in a sealed bread box or container. Pop loaf in a 190C pre-heated oven for 6-8 minutes for a crunchier crust.
