Health Dynamics Rye Bread

"This bread was suggested at a class I gave on making breads using whole grains. A woman in the class wanted to make some bread for her husband who was allergic to wheat. She called me the next day to report it was very good. I was so happy for them, because her husband hadn't eaten bread in such a long time, and was so thankful."
