I've made my own last week and it was very good. I have a little grain mill so I ground the rye berries (and got 3 C of flour = 500 g). Then I added 1 1/4 C (200 g) all purpose flour, 1 tsp of sourdough powder for rye that I found in a shop and 1 tsp of normal dry yeast. I mixed it with 2 C of lukewarm water and let it rise for almost 3 hours. Some cumin can be added as well. Finally, I added 1 1/2 tsp of salt and lined a steel pot with parchment paper. First I baked it with the lid on top in the oven at 400°f/230° C. Then I took off the lid after half an hour and kept baking it for another half hour. It was beautiful and really fine tasting.

loved it,very interesting food

I am so happy I discovered your channel today! I also lived in Finland but quite awhile ago. I went as an AFS student when I was 17 in 1984. It was just a summer program so I was only there a few months in a small village called Kyyjarvi but we did quite a bit of travel in Finland as well as in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. I missed pulla for years and then found some recipes online and now make it more regularly. I also remember loving their strawberry tortes with whipped cream, Fazer chocolate bars/Marabou, and cucumber and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. In your video with the 10 things which were culture shocks, you mentioned how quiet/shy people are and that no one would bother women on the street. I hope its changed but when I was there, I often encountered really drunk men on the streets and they would act very inappropriately as far as touching without consent. It seemed like they were making up for being so reserved without alcohol. I look forward to watching more of your videos and would be interested in your Finnish language class. I didn't become very fluent and it has been decades since I spoke Finnish but I would love to go back and know a little more Finnish.

True. You can make rye bread without the root, but it doesn't taste the same.

I have never really liked Maksalaatikko(liver casserole) as a main dish and I like it better cold. I have tried, but I don't want to eat a box or even half the box unless it's on the side, but I still think it's really good.

Rachel - have you tried any meals in Finland made from or with CURD? My most favourite baltic meals made with this dairy product. Not sure if you can find curd in Texas? I am sure is widely used in Europe. P.s. Love rye bread too!

Pulla is super easy to make! :)

And good job pronouncing the finnish words. Yay! 👌🥳

Kiitos.Thank's

Did you ever have Kukkakaalilaatikko? So good! Might be able to make a vegan version!

You speak such good Finnish. How did you learn it so well?

Have you tryed "Jälkiuuni" ryebread, maybe that from suomikauppa. Originally made because of long stocktime.

Rye party, rice or potato based filling. If you didn’t try potato filled Karbala noodles pastries, you’ve missed something. I’m a Brit who lived 34 years in Finland. Like you I miss it loads! Did you know that salmon soup and rye/ rusi bread is a wedding menu in some places

Sometimes Finnish American clubs sell pulla, but those may be harder to find in other states.... I'm in Michigan, so there's a big Finnish population.

I can still remember some mornings in my grandparents house when my grandma woke everybody up and said: "A mie tuossa piirakat pyöräytin" (I just baked some pasties). She had woken up before everyone else and had done her magic in the kitchen. Later my aunt used to make some barley pasties especially for me. And as Karelians we don't call them karjalanpiirakka but simply piirakka or piiras. The Karjala part seems redundant.

Hey Rachel, a few thoughts: 1) Most of rye bread sold in Finland contains a varying amount of wheat (not that I'm complaining). The real hardcore rye bread is heavenly if you get it still warm, pretty much straight from the oven - otherwise it can be a bit dry and hard to chew. 2) Did you ever try hapankorppu, a crisp bread made from rye sourdough? That is truly dangerous, addictive stuff. You think you're just gonna have a couple for a snack and end up wolfing down a dozen. Ooh, I feel a craving now and don't have any left in my cupboard. 3) I share your feelings about maksalaatikko. What kind of evil person invented a dish like that - and then added slimy raisins. Shudder. Take care and stay healthy.
