11.09.2020 - Lingonberry season inspirates baking

Lingonberries are getting more ripe day by day and this superfood of Finnish nature is easy to find in big quantities all over Finnish forests. Bees have been active in pollunating lingonberry flowers and created rare lingonberry honey, which has an aromatic flavor that reminds of carnation.

As people spend more time working at home and because of quarantine regulations, baking has gained more popularity as a hobby. There is nothing more homey than smelling the fresh bread baking in the oven! Because of this newly found enthusiasm to baking, we want to share our amazing recipe for lingonberry honey bread, which gives energy to focus on any job ahead.

Honey lingonberry bread

• 250 g water
• 15 g fresh yeast
• 420 g wheat flour
• 40 g rye flour
• 60 g honey
• 120 g lingonberries

Measure ingredients in a mixer bowl and let run for 15 minutes

• 10 g fine sea salt
• 100 g chopped walnuts

Add ingredients and mix for additional 5 minutes. Cover the bowl and let rest in a warm spot for 1,5-2 hours. Pour the dough on a floured surface and divide it in two. Form round breads and move to a baking paper, that is placed on a oven dish. Cover with a cloth and let rest for at least one hour more, until the bread has risen. Bake for 30 minutes in 200 °C.

Enjoy of your bread with apple jam or butter and honey!
