Marble rye bread is made with a combination of rye dough and wheat dough to create a hearty flavored deli-style sandwich bread. The rye dough can be a traditional dough of rye and wheat flour or it can be a heavy rye pumpernickel dough. The wheat dough can be made from a basic white flour dough, whole-wheat, or a sourdough. A layer of rye dough is placed on top of a layer of white (wheat) dough and the layers are rolled to create a spiral pattern of rye and wheat bread when baked. The crust is generally chewing and somewhat crispy, while the texture is fairly dense. The addition of molasses gives the rye portion of the bread a distinctively rich flavor and dark brown color.
