Abstract

Sourdough baking is the traditional way of making bread in Finland and northeastern Europe. Most rye bread made in Finland is sourdough rye bread, although in parts of southeastern Finland sourdough bread from barley has also been and is still being made to some extent. Traditionally, sourdough wheat bread has not been produced in Finland. However, wheat preferments fermented with baker’s yeast are generally used in wheat baking.
