Blood bread was a way of preserving slaughter blood for a long time, and Erken calls it "an invaluable help to have in times of crisis".
Mix the dough
Mix blood, salt, yeast and rye flour into a smooth dough. Put it in a greased, floured tin; it should be only half full.
Rise and bake
Let the dough rise for about half an hour. Bake in a not-too-hot oven (about 175 °C (345 °F)) for 1 hour and turn the loaf out of the tin.
Dry the slices
When the bread is cold, cut it into slices and dry them at low heat.
Use
The dried slices are used for pancakes, puddings, klubb and lapper.
½ l is set to 5 dl, "not too hot an oven" is read as about 175 °C (345 °F), and "hvelves" as turning the loaf out of the tin.
