Russian Style Scalded Rye

$15.45

As Russian Rye Breads go, I’m told this is a straightforward classic! A multi-staged process of leavens (aka starters), builds a complex, balanced sour base that’s complemented by the musky sweetness of scaled rye meal, which, itself, is allowed to soak for hours accompanied by a dash of malted rye. The final loaf features a crisp crust, and a tender, uniquely textured interior that delivers rye’s two-fold flavor possibilities, at once sweet and sour, with whispers of coffee, dark chocolate, a slight astringency, and steady bass-note of earthiness. It’s a poignant, yet not overstated rye that encourages pairings of funky cheeses, robust meats, complexly effervescent fermented vegetables, or a simple swipe of stone ground mustard. Whatever your approach: slice thin, get comfortable, and take time to savor while you share.

Ingredients: Organic & Responsibly Grown Rye Flour (Dark Northern) [OR], Organic & Responsibly Grown Rye Berries, malted (Dark Northern) [OR], Sea Salt [CA], Organic Caraway [CA], Wild Yeast
