Finnish rye loaves made with a rye-and-water sourdough starter.
About Ruisleipä
Martat's ruisleipä is a Finnish sourdough rye bread shaped into round loaves. Rye flour, water and salt form its main dough, with a rye-and-water starter supplying the fermentation.
The bread has the sour character associated with hapanleipä. A small addition of baker's yeast is offered for help with rising, alongside the naturally fermented version.
The loaves have slightly flattened tops and a fork-pricked surface. They are presented cooled, with a sour rye flavour that defines this named Finnish home-baking rendition.
