Rúgbrauð

Rúgbrauð

"Rúgbrauð" is an Icelandic straight rye bread, dark and dense, traditionally baked in a pot or steamed in special wooden casks by burying it in the ground near a hot spring. Modern "rúgbrauð" is usually made in a square baking pan. The bread is crustless, dark and very dense and keeps for a long time. It is often served with butter, mutton paté, hangikjöt (smoked lamb), or with pickled herring. Dry "rúgbrauð" would be ground and mixed with buttermilk to form a kind of porridge.

Rye, produced in Denmark and exported to Iceland, became the predominant cereal in Icelandic cuisine in the early modern period after a trade monopoly was instituted by the king of Denmark in 1602, remaining in vigor until 1786.
