Mission completed

My bread finally done and it does taste delicious. We enjoyed with a hearty seafood soup, not quite the traditional swedish way, but still great.

I used the recipe on the back of the spice-mix bag with some small modifications:

1 large or 2 small loafs

25 g butter

100 ml golden syrup

1 (330ml) dark beer

1 bag Santa Maria Vörtmix

500 ml rye flour

500 ml plain flour

1 tbls dry yeast

50 ml raisins 

Melt butter and mix in syrup, beer and spice mix, heat to approx. 45 C.

As I mentioned in previous post, I used a bread-maker to make the dough as I find it just doesn't rise otherwise.

Pour the liquid in bread-maker, add flours, yeast and rasins. Turn bread-maker to the dough making mode and start. I found I had to add some flour as it was mixing to get the right consistency on the dough. 

Once the dough is ready, take it out and knead, add some more flour if needed. Make one loaf or cut dough in half to make 2 smaller loafs. Place on baking tray and place in a warm spot to rise, approx. 30-40min. Turn oven on to 175 C, I used fan bake. 

Bake for 30-40 min. Brush with black coffee a few times during baking.
