In nordic countries like Denmark, they LOVE rye bread. Rugbrod is a traditional sourdough rye bread loaded with craked rye, cracked whole wheat, sunflower, and flax seeds that has a nice dark color and a wonderful hearty flavor.
You’ll find similar bread in Germany also. I will be honest, this hearty style bread is NOT going to appeal to most kids or those who are accustomed to white bread. This is a whole different experience. Lovely tang, moist dense texture, and loads of flavor for me, this is nirvana.
I gave a half a loaf to a German chef I know, he LOVED it and said it reminded him of home, a great compliment for me as this dude can bake bread like a Parisian rock star!
