Frisian Gingerbread



Please turn your attention to Hollands' North sea coast, Friesland, one of the Netherlands' northern provinces. Alongside world-famous Dutch cheeses like gouda and edam, there is the signature Frisian Gingerbread. This 100% "quick" rye bread, was often times steamed in a water bath rather than cooked in a dry oven. Here is my interpretation of
 Stanley Ginsberg's' formula.

Spiced Honey Rye

Week two of: "The Rye Baker" Challenge takes us to the French countryside. This French interpretation of gingerbread is lighter and quick to make due to the chemical leavening. I found it just sweet enough to go with your favorite jams or savory toppings. Another winner brought to us 
by Stanley Ginsberg!
