Danish Delicious Tasty Rye Bread

Rye Bread is without doubt the best bread I know. It's a pity they don't have them all over Europe. In both Germany and Denmark, bread made of rye is the most common bread, and it has been the main bread for ages.

The rye bread is also starting to get more and more popular in Norway, 

and I hope you enjoy the recipe.

The rye bread is a type of bread made with various percentages of flour from rye grain. 

It can be both dark and light in color, depending on the type of flour used. 

Typical for the rye bread is the kind of sour and dark taste. 

This recipe is just a basic one. Why not add a lot of sunflower seeds, or almonds?

Put whatever you like in it, let it rise, and cook it for one hour on 180 C...

Use this:

2 packages of yeast

0.5 cups of buttermilk

6 cups course rye flour

2 cups all purpose flour

3 tsp salt

2 tbsp molasses

1 egg or egg white, optional for glaze (wouldn't recommend it ;) )

Let the yeast dissolve in warm water. Heat the buttermilk slowly warm, and check that it has the same temperature as your arm. Add the yeast to the buttermilk, together with salt in a large mixing bowl. Add rye flour, kneading well with a spoon. cover it up with plastic and let it rise for about 0.5 hours. Put the dough into a pan and let it rise again for the same amount of time, or longer.

In my picture I have made the bread like a little heart!!

Yummi yummi.

Eat with Norwegian goat cheese or salted butter...

Or some other stuff you like putting on bread

Salami for example?
