It was called either Russian Rye or Pumpernickel rye (I think the former). It was dark, not very sour, had no caraway or other seeds in it, did not have a strong molasses taste, and contained crushed grains. Any help would be appreciated!!!!! (I did talk with a 50+ year old man whose dad was a Dutch immigrant and worked in the Van De Kamp bakery in CA for years, and who remembered the dark round rye bread as well, but his father died and left no recipes.)

Hi Ginny,
Sorry, I could not find any recipe or reference to this bread. There are no actual Van de Kamp's recipes available at all, and I could not find a copycat recipe or a "tastes like" recipe or any mention at all of the rye bread that you describe.
