Helsinki Buttermilk Rye

The breads of Finland reflect two distinct and different influences--the dense, sour breads of Russia and the Baltics, and the sweet and spicy breads of Sweden. This bread integrates both, offering a flavor profile that is at once sweet, sour, bitter, and citrusy with a crumb that is dense and chewy. A complex, strong flavored and engaging loaf! Try it with a mild cheese like Havarti, smoked fish, or perhaps split pea soup!
