"This sandwich rye bread is super-light and moist; and the recipe makes two loaves, thus the "double." Our thanks to the cooks on the classic Maine schooner Sylvina W. Beal, launched in 1911 in East Boothbay. They shared a version of this recipe with one of their passengers nearly 20 years ago, on a cruise he took out of Belfast; and he kindly passed it along to us. We've modernized it a bit, and are happy to share this bit of Maine nautical/culinary history with you...."
