About Rúgbrauð
Rúgbrauð is a sweet Icelandic rye bread often eaten alongside savoury foods. Sindri Swan's rendition combines rye and whole-wheat flours with Icelandic soured milk and golden syrup.
The syrup supplies sweetness, while the cultured milk and salt give the loaf its contrasting dairy and savoury notes. Baking soda is the raising agent in this version.
The bread is presented as a loaf, with sliced smoked lamb among the offered toppings. Its sweet character makes it a familiar accompaniment to smoked or sour savoury foods.
