Ruispala – Rye slices

Introduction

This bread is well-known in Russia, it is sold under the name Rye Slices in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I know 2 recipes for this bread, one is more time consuming, baked with the rye sourdough, the second one is a quicker version using the yeasts. Today I will share with you the yeasts recipe.

Thoughts and Ideas

I take fine-grained flour, so I use less water. The amount of the salt and molasses could be adjusted to your taste, I take 2,5 tsp salt and 3 tsp molasses. You can use honey instead of the molasses. The dough is very sticky.
