Caraway Rye Bran Bread

Caraway and rye are a classic pairing, but orange peel and buttermilk add a new taste twist to this hearty yeast bread. This lovely loaf, sliced thick, is a great base for an egg salad sandwich, layered with juicy slices of fresh, ripe tomato. Save some bread for breakfast, though. It's equally good toasted, with butter and jam.
