Morphology
The meaning 'a type of bread made from rye flour' is directly derivable from combining 'rye' (a grain used to make flour) and 'bread' (baked flour-based food). This simple noun–noun compound follows common cross-linguistic food-naming patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Rye bread comes from the simple idea of bread made from rye, a grain that grows well in cool places. Because rye makes darker, heavier loaves than wheat, the name shows the bread's usual taste and texture, so it simply means 'bread made from rye'.
