About the dish

This is a yeast-free bread, quick to make and baked straight away without rising. The book says the syrup can be left out, using sugar and a little more milk instead.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Mix the rye dough

    Stir the rye flour, salt and cold milk together and work the dough until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the syrup

    Warm the syrup slightly, just enough that it slips out of the cup, and stir it in.

  3. 3

    Work in the wheat flour

    Finally work in the wheat flour mixed with the baking powder. Work the dough quickly but thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Shape and bake

    Shape the dough on the baking table, place it in a greased oblong tin and bake at once in a moderate oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) for about 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Brush with butter

    When the bread is baked, brush the crust with a little melted butter.
