Rugbrød

Last summer i visited Scandinivia, and it was an chance to explore nordic breads.

And the most common daily bread was Rugbrød the famous danish rye bread. 

It's a healthy nutritious bread, rich in protein and dietary fiber.

And Buttered rugbrød is essentially the base for Danish open sandwich smørrebrød.

when i went back home, i started reading and watching tutorials to learn how to bake it.

So i tried the rye starter recipe but the outcome didn't meet my expectations, a strong un desirable sour taste. And i kept searching until i found a hybrid version of global baker Dean Brettscneider in his BREAD cookbook. It consist of both sourdough and dried yeast, rye and bread flour with a touch of coco powder and carrots.

Truly, i liked it!

Can’t say I agree about undesirable sour taste though ;)
