Ryebread - Scandinavian Rye Bread

Scandinavian rye bread, or Ryebread, is one of the best-known types of bread in the Nordic countries. This dark, dense-textured bread has long been a staple of the Nordic diet, especially in Denmark and Sweden. Traditionally made from fermented rye flour, this bread is not only healthy but also extremely tasty, especially when served with butter, cheeses, or smoked fish. The crispy crust and rich, seedy interior create a perfect combination that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the rye flour, salt, and baking powder.

    2

    In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the honey and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.

    3

    Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.

    4

    Add the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, then mix evenly into the dough.

    5

    Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

    6

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a loaf pan and lightly grease it with oil or line it with parchment paper.

    7

    Pour the risen dough into the loaf pan and smooth the top. You can sprinkle some extra sunflower seeds on top for a crispy effect.

    8

    Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.

    9

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
