Nothing like having black bread with liverwurst and spicy mustard!! MMMmmmmm One of my grandfather's favorites!
Note: If using this recipe to make a light/dark "marbled" rye loaf, knead both the light and dark dough separately for about 3 minutes or so, then combine and knead them together for another minute or so (to produce the marbled effect). I find it easier to just also make a white rye and then mix the two to marble together. It just doubles your yield.
