On Saturday, we decided to brave Ikea to purchase some photo frames. We found the right frames, plus a few extra items along the way and were about to head home.
I decided to have a quick look in the food hall to see what interesting things they had. In amongst the meatballs and lingonberry sauce, I found some Reindeer meat slices, numerous jars of marinated herring and an unusual cider flavoured with cloudberry juice. I rather liked the look of the Gravadlax so bought a pack for lunch, along with some sweet, dill sauce. I was about the check out when Ii spotted a carton of rye bread. It was a rye bread mix ; add 600ml warm water, shake, pour into the loaf tin, leave for 30 mins and then bake for 1hour. I love rye bread so the opportunity to make my own was too hard to pass up.
It was so easy, I did overfill the loaf tin a bit so there was rye bread mix spilling out , but I put it on a baking tray and popped it in the oven.
I was very pleased with the result and would definitely recommend it. It was dense but moist and very tasty, and went beautifully with our home-made butter that we had made the afternoon before The gravadlax and dill sauce made for a fab open sandwich lunch Scandinavian style.
