Ruisleipä (Finnish Rye Bread)
One serving has 130 kcal and 4 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (49%). Ready in 220 minutes.
- Preparation: 170 min
- Cooking: 50 min
- Makes: 1 serving (66.2 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten
Ingredients
- 35 g Flour, rye
- 28 g Water
- 0.4 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.5 g Salt
- 2 g Molasses
- 0.3 g Caraway seeds
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 20 for a whole loaf. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, then stir in the molasses.
- Mix in the rye flour, salt and caraway seeds to a dense, sticky dough; rye has little gluten, so it won't be smooth like a wheat dough.
- Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours until slightly puffed.
- Shape into a flat, round loaf on a floured tray, and let it rise for a further 45 minutes.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 45-50 minutes until deeply browned and it sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
- Cool completely on a rack before slicing; ruisleipä keeps well and slices best the next day.
