Patty melt bread

RYE

This hearty, slightly sour bread is a classic choice for deli sandwiches with corned beef.

A patty melt is a classic diner sandwich that traditionally uses rye bread instead of a regular hamburger bun. The clue is straightforward—it’s simply naming the type of bread you’d find in that dish. No wordplay here, just a direct reference to the bread that defines a patty melt. If you’ve ever ordered one, you’d know rye is the go-to choice.
