My friend mentioned that she could readily buy Swedish Rye bread in any
grocery store as a kid through a young adult. I have seen it online but it's
super expensive. And I've seem recipes but there are so many variations. She
said what she used to buy didn't have any orange or orange peel in it.

Does anyone know what kind of bread this might have been? She's 74, if that
helps. I know I could make it. But she doesn't make bread so hasn't a clue
what might have been in it. It wasn't a crisp bread but a loaf. But she
can't even describe the shape of the loaf.

Julie- I remember the Swedish rye in every supermarket,
very common, I hAvent seen it in ages. It was with the Russian rye and all the variations that are still there today. They are usually on the bottom shelf now and made by Orowheat. I used to buy it often. It was a light rye with caraway seeds, not much rye flavor to it, slightly crisp crust. HTH.

Note to cshenk. If a person is 74, they were cooking in the 60s. I'm pretty sure at that point there were loaf pans on the market, Lolololol
