Fire and Bread - Baking the old-fashioned way

Twice a year my family and I are baking bread the traditional old-fashioned way. 

The bread is called tunnbröd, 
but the real name is: "kakunn". 
 

It is very special and funny doing it

I feel honoured being able of doing it and have done it since I was young

Ladies and Gentlemen here we go!

It all starts with a fire..

..heating up the owen!

The bread is baked in a stonebuilt owen 

heated up with fire

We start heating up the owen, 

 the evening before the baker day

We also start making the dough the evening before the baking-day

this one is made of 6 liter milk

The dough is divided into smaller pieces

 There are several steps 

for making it thin and good enough

Now the cake is ready 

for the owen

Its warm inside the owen 

and the cake starts developing at once

 

You need to stay alert and not hesitate 

when the cake needs help to change direction as it gets warmer the more inside it is 

and also by the sides where the fire is.

  

A new baked cake

Every cake stay on this place first and then...

... they are kept in an old wood barrel.

This is the lunch and the main dish"bryta" is: bread broken into pieces, milk and jam. 


Its not just any jam this time it is hjortronsylt. 

 The berries are sometimes called:

- The Gold from the North.

Dinner time and home made pizza next to go, 

everyone made his/her own pizza

Its not a joke

- This pizza is a Winner!:)

We made 16 pizzas and 

we were 8 people eating. 

After all this work and enjoyment, 

it was very easy to find resting 

the best thing to do
