Darnitsa bread
Ukrainian rye-and-wheat sourdough bread with a fermented rye levain.
About Darnitsa bread
Bake for Ukraine presents Darnitskiy as a familiar Ukrainian grey bread made from rye and wheat. This version selects its tin-loaf method, with an active rye starter developed into a levain before the dough is mixed.
White rye flour combines with strong wheat flour and whole wheat flour, giving the loaf its mixed-cereal character. Sourdough fermentation provides its fermented flavour, with salt as the named seasoning.
The dough rises in a greased tin before baking. The booklet shows the bread sliced, revealing a porous crumb within its browned crust; it does not prescribe a final serving-temperature category.
