Rye
Bread (sliced)
This is bread made by the sourdough method, where leaving and flavour
result from the addition of a small amount of old dough in which
lactic-acid- producing bacteria have developed. These micro-organism
ferment some of the carbohydrates in fresh dough batch, producing
characteristic sour taste and smell. The leaving is the product of a
mixture of pytel rye (double ground ) flour and wheat flour. Salt and
yeast is also added. |
