Yes, I'd lik...Housewife, what a cool picture:)<br /><br />Yes, I'd like to try baking rye bread, too, but since they don't sell rye flour in the supermarket, I'll have to go to the mill and I just haven't had time so far. It's not exactly in the part of the city that I visit regularly...<br /><br />I know about fresh bread being hard on your stomach but when mine was fresh I could hardly stop eating small pieces of it, it tasted so good:) After a couple of days, it's definitely hard. I've just eaten the last of it and started working on loaf no3.

It is actually pretty harsh on your stomach if you eat it fresh. <br /><br />In some parts of Finland people used to bake sourdough bread only twice a year. It was made of rye flour and they made huge amount of it. The breads had holes in the middle like donuts and they were hanged from the cealing. Obvilously they tried and stayed good for months and months. <br /><br />Like this:<br />https://www.ideakeittio.fi/sites/default/files/styles/recipe-show/public/recipes/Varpulan-ruisleipa.jpg?itok=4s-jZBa_<br /><br />What they did with starter: well, the dough was made in huge wooden trough (kind of a tub) and the trough was never washed. They left some dough in it and let it dry. In old houses people could use the same starter for centuries. <br /><br />I have also read that people actually had quite good teeth because they ate so hard bread and obviously there was no sugar. Old people's teeth might be worn out, but they had no cavities. Housewife Outdoorsnoreply@blogger.com
