Rye Toast Bread is a type of bread that is made with rye flour, which gives it a distinctive flavor and texture. The dough is typically made with a mixture of rye flour, wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes caraway seeds or other spices. The dough is allowed to ferment for a longer period than other types of bread, which gives the bread its characteristic flavor and chewy texture.

- Sliced thinly and served as a snack or appetizer
