The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the baker why the rye bread was so dark, and he told me it's just trying to look mysterious to hide the fact that it's actually just bread.
The Culinary Science
Cocoa powder not only provides that gorgeous dark color in traditional rye breads but also contributes subtle bitter notes that balance the sweetness of molasses.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
