Swedish Boiled Bread
0.6 oz dry yeast or 50g cake yeast 3 1/2 cup rye flour (0.9 liters) 0.6 cup dark corn syrup (0.15 liters) 1 tsp salt (5 ml) 1 1/2 cup lukewarm water (0.4 liters) 3 1/4 cup wheat flour (0.8 liters)
Mix well the yeast, rye flour, corn syrup, salt and water. Then, mix in, little by little the wheat flour.
Knead the dough. Rub a thin layer of fat on the inside of a stainless steel bowl, powder the inside with flour and put the ballshaped dough in the bowl. Now, put a lid on top of the bowl, which shall be large enough so that the lid will not touch the dough. Put the bowl in a pot, fill up with water to 2/3 of the height of the bowl, and boil for 4 hours. Fill up with water to 2/3 every now and then, but be careful never to get any water into the bowl. If possible, keep a lid on the pot while boiling. The bread will rise while being boiled, but will be a rather compact bread.
