Description

Ryebread is a staple food in the Danish cuisine, but it gets even better when it’s mixed with Mexican flavors from Ølsnedkeren’s Montezuma beer that is brewed with our Guajillo and Ancho chili as well as our luxury Mexican vanilla beans. Check out this recipee by Møller's Hjemmebag in collaboration with Staldkøkkenet.

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix beer with half of the water and dissolve the sour dough in the mixture.
  2. Add in cracked rye kernels, whole wheat rye flour and all-purpose flour and stir until it has a firm consistency.
  3. Put a damp cloth over the bowl and leave it to rest in a warm place for 12-24 hours.
  4. Once rested, add salt, honey and kernels as well as the rest of the water and whole wheat rye flour. 
  5. Stir for 10-15 minutes and divide the dough into two rectangular bread pans that have been covered with oil or butter. Let the bread rest in the pans for 2-6 hours (longer rest results in more flavor).
  6. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and bake in the lower part of the oven for 1,5 hours. Once baked, let cool on a rack. Buen Provecho!
