Irish rye-wheat bread is the heart of traditional Irish cuisine. Its history dates back centuries when the people of Ireland baked bread without yeast using available ingredients. The delicate blend of wheat and rye flour gives the bread lightness, while kefir makes the crumb soft and aromatic. The crispy crust, subtle hint of caraway, and slight tang make it an ideal addition to a morning breakfast or hearty dinner. This bread is especially good with butter and honey, as well as paired with traditional Irish soups and stews. It is easy to prepare, and its natural flavor brings comfort and warmth to every home.
