 ,,.on the left, white flour, on the right, medium (bohemian) rye flour, and in the middle dark rye flour... |
 ...sift together the white & medium rye flours...twice is nice... |

Swedes have always made hearty, highly flavored breads and rye always seems to play a part, the foundation for many avenues of baking exploration.
Aunt Violet was one of my paternal grandfather's sisters. This is her recipe 'from home'. It seems each of the 7 Moller children brought fragments of family recipes with them through Ellis Island in 1912.
The overall, lapsed time is long - 4 hours, because of the rising and baking time - the actual labor involved is about 15 minutes.
Following is a basic - and unique - family recipe for an every day Swedish country-style rye bread.

- 2 C whole milk (scalded)
- 1/2 C granulated sugar

I love rye bread, and this recipe looks like it's a keeper...obviously, as it's been around for a very long time!1 reply
I'm also looking for a good dark rye bread and a pumpernickel recipe, so if you have either or both of those, I'd be very grateful!

30 января 2012Hey, Bob! Let me know how it goes. The dill dip should be killer with this bread. Go Giants!
30 января 2012Just in time for Superbowl, I am going to bake this in a round loaf and hollow it out for a Dill Dip.1 reply- 30 января 2012Hi, Patricia! You are mostly correct: the only thing that beats a good rye bread is a dough hook...
- 30 января 2012Let me keep digging, A.L. I know you will need pumpernickel flour and probably chops, as well, depending on how truly european you want that bread to be. Check King Arthur or Hodgson Mill. I'll get back to you soon.
