Bread Worth Stealing from an Old Lady: Marble Rye

IMG_3088

I was watching Seinfeld againโ€ฆ and I just couldnโ€™t get marble rye out of my head (Episode #117: Georgeโ€™s parents took back the marble rye they brought to Susanโ€™s parentsโ€™ house and George came up with a plan to replace it so Susanโ€™s parents wouldnโ€™t think even less of the Costanzas than they already did which involved Jerry stealing a marble rye from an old lady.)

There might be close to a million recipes for rye bread and marble rye. I came up with my own — I have a bread book that happened to *not* have marble rye in it, but there was a formula for both pumpernickel and rye bread. I tweaked them both so that it would work for marbling (I had to do a lot of math to come up with this).
