This bread is the best for two reasons. 1, it tastes heavenly and 2, it’s super duper easy to makeĀ (I’ll throw in a 3rd and that’s that it’s one of the prettiest breads I’ve seen, if bread can be pretty…)

Below is the recipe, if you’d like to try and make them…

5 dl lukewarm water (37 degrees C)

1 dl milk

25 g fresh yeast

2 tsp salt + 1 tbs honey

12 1/2 dl flour

Mix water and milk together. Crumble the fresh yeast into a large bowl and add salt, honey and most of the “milk water”. Stirr with a wooden spoon till yeast has dissolved completely and then add the rest of the milk water. Last, add the flour and mix. The dough should be rather lose. Cover the dough and leave it to rise for 1-1 1/2 hours. Preheat the oven to 240-250 degrees C. Grease or line two large baking trays. Sprinkle some flour unto the work surface and tip the dough onto it. Make sure not to kneed the dough! You’ll want all the gorgeous “rise bubbles” to stay.. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and then carefully pat the whole piece of dough into an irregular rectangle. Then, quickly cut the dough into 6-7 cm wides “strips”. Then divide each strip into 2-3 parts. It doesn’t matter if the pieces aren’t even – it will only add to the prettiness of the bread. Then, move the individual pieces of bread to the tray, and immediately bake in the middle of the oven (they don’t need to rise a second time) for 17-20 minutes. Leave to cool without covering for an extra crusty crust :)

Hope you like them!
