Well it depends on the type of rye bread. In Finland we have a ton of different kinds of rye breads and this isn't close to any of them. I could bake some rye bread but.. I haven't tried so far. I've done some airier wheat bread but it takes a bit more work, so I've done usually this kind of "heavy bread".

Here are some types of rye bread:

Type 1

Type 2

Type 3

Type 4
