My father was just telling me about a Swedish version of this bread. He remembers eating this as a child. He also told me my grandparents (Swedish immigrants who met & married in NYS) grew their own rye (in Rockland County, NY, right outside NYC!!) and made these, storing them on poles!!

I love that you are doing this with sourdough too! I will try it for my family!

I'm constantly looking for new recipes I can explore to understand my culinary heritage. This Finnish bread is exactly what I've been looking for. Now all I need to do is carve out some time to bake it! Thanks for the great recipe! Brooke last blog post: A dish with Alice Waters
