After an image on a rye malt bag caught my eye, I had to satisfy my curiosity and bake a batch of rye buns, because Finnish rye bread is my favourite. To say they were delicious is a huge understatement! I now make them almost every week and always have some on hand in the freezer so I may consume one every day. Marmalade goes well to make an extra special treat. Is this an addiction? I'm not sure, but since the buns have such a high nutritional value, I won't worry about it.
The recipe for Mallasleipäset or Rye Malt Buns can be found on the package back of Tuoppi Kaljamallas, which I purchased from FinnGoods.com. It's not a difficult yeast dough and the whole process can be completed in about 2 hours.
