🖨👁 Print & View
Experience authentic Nordic tradition with this Swedish Rye Bread, featuring a perfect balance of white and rye flours enhanced with aromatic caraway seeds. This hearty, old-world recipe creates two substantial loaves with beautifully textured crumb and golden crust brushed with butter. The straightforward technique yields professional results that pair perfectly with smoked salmon, sharp cheeses, or simply good butter.
Ingredients

Directions
2 cups milk 
1 tsp. salt 
3 Tbsp. brown sugar 
2 cakes or pkgs. of yeast

Scald milk.
Add salt, brown sugar and cool until lukewarm, 80 to 85 degrees.

Place in a greased bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.
Punch down and knead caraway seeds into the dough.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
