Product Description
GAIL's Russian Rye Bread
Inspired by the tale of a Russian impresario who abandoned the theatre to devote his life to bread, this delicious rye loaf is as deep, dark and brooding as his secret passion for baking.
About GAIL's
GAIL's believes in the art of honest breadmaking. We start with just four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast, and we never add artificial colours or flavours. Instead, we seek out the best ingredients from where they're best, whether it's hand-peeled Bramley apples from Britain, single source unsalted butter from France, or plump juicy olives from Mediterranean groves. All our loaves are made by hand too, so we never need to add the stabilisers and preservatives that are an unavoidable fact of industrialised bread.
Our selection of classic and globally-inspired artisanal breads includes a range of sourdoughs made from 15-year old wild yeast starters. Allowed to rise slowly and naturally, these loaves take 48 hours to make and possess a mature taste and character that a mechanically processed loaf couldn't hope to match.

hardest bread ever
maybe I just dont have a sharp enough knife but this bread was so so difficult to slice . I tried warming it a little in the oven but it still was rather like a brick and far too dark in texture for me .

More German than Russian, I'd say
Waitrose stopped selling the German loaf. This is the closest to it and I love this sort of bread. However, it is a bit expensive for such a small loaf.
