Since 2018

I simply wanted better tasting, and healthier bread for my family. Also liked the challenge of learning new, although ancient skill.

Characteristics

Rauni-Reetta is very strong, although only 7 months old. (Has been like that from the beginning.) Being all rye, it has quite strong flavour, so it's at it's best used in rye doughs, but also works excellent when using any wholemeal flour in wheat doughs when a little deeper, and more sour flavour is wanted.
