Lorraine's Buttermilk Rye Bread

A good friend and our favorite critic, Lorraine, loved every loaf she sampled. She selected this as one of her favorites and we agree. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, it's perfect for sandwiches.

Cheddar Rye Bread

Because this loaf doesn't rise very high, it has a very dense texture. For exceptional hors d'oeuvres, slice it thin and spread chopped liver or a pâté on top. We've found that this bread doesn't keep well; after a day or two, the crust hardens. Use it for hors d'oeuvres the first day or as a doorstop the third day.
