I'll share my tasty secret family recipes for Finnish food and desserts. I hope you will be inspired to prepare home-cooked meals Finland style and maybe continue the traditions to your children.
thanks for the recipe, i was searching for the ratio flour to milk. I like the milk first trick i also add some vanilla essence (couple drops), bit more sugar, a few drops of water, a bit of melted butter into the mix too
Hi! When I was in Finland we tried individual blueberry pies that were on a soft crust like this one, but they also had a creamy filling. Is that traditional? If so, what are the crust ingredients and what are the bread ingredients? It was so lovely that I dream about having them again
I just learned about karjalanpiirakka in my Finnish practice and as soon as I heard "mashed potato pastry with egg spread" I have been so curious to try! Thanks for making this easy to follow, real recipe!
Great, thank you for watching! ❤ If you would like an ebook for Finnish recipes, check this: feelslikefinland.com/products/the-essential-finnish-cookbook (I'm also preparing a bigger one on Finnish Baking..it will be also a physical book)
@@Tuijatuulia thank you for sharing! Just got my copy 😄 I’m about to head home for a visit to take care of my grandma and trying out these recipes will keep both of us warm and happy.
Wow this is very similar to the way my family prepares our potato salad! I’m from Texas. I’ve never used capers though or added Greek yogurt but I will try this version too! 😊 Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I left Helsinki in 2002, nowhere in the UK can I get decent rye bread, also love that you mention Vaasan, there's a reason it's everywhere. Some folk would look down on it and think it's not artisinal enough, kiitoksia paljon
hey, Tuija. Thanks for the recipe. You mention that the original recipe doesn't have yeast or sugar. Can you quickly mention how to make the original recipe? Thank you!
You can just leave them out. I added those because my starter is new, to guarantee that the dough is proofing well. Proofing may take more time without sugar and yeast.
@@Tuijatuulia Tuija, thanks for your kind reply. I didn't notice it though. Right now I'm about to put them in the oven - excited! Wish me luck! Kiitos palijon, hyva reseptia!!!
@@engwithvlad@engwithvlad Good luck! Let them cool a bit after baking.. 😅 and cover under a towel. They are fine when still a bit warm, with butter of course 😊 Remember to freeze some of the dough for next time!
Hello. I'd like to purchase some ancient Finland bread starter. I just found out I'm part Finnish. I've always loved Finnish Rye. Can you steer me as to where I can? Thank you so much!
Hi, no need to buy a starter. Find the nearest place that sell Finn Crisps (they are quite common worldwide) and see this recipe and make the starter yourself. You're welcome: feelslikefinland.com/blogs/finnish-food-recipes/finnish-rye-bread-with-starter
Looks good and easy! I'll try to make this 😊. Thank you so much for making this channel. I'm new in Finland and I'd love to know how to cook easy Finnish comfort food and your channel is really helping 😊❤
Thank you for your kind words! Please share the channel, if you have friends who might like these recipes too. Some of the recipes I have also here on my web page, please leave a star rating or a comment there, it would mean a lot for me ❤️feelslikefinland.com/blogs/finnish-food-recipes/finnish-potato-salad-and-wieners-perunasalaatti-ja-nakit-recipe
Excellent! My mum made the meatballs similarly and added them to tomato soup. I really liked your recepie. You cook like a Jazz musician, improvise on the fly. Well done!
😄😄 no need for marathon with Finnish food, e.g. one Karelian pie weighs about 60 g, it's less than 180 kcal, and that even includes butter on top. It's about same as 30-35g of milk chocolate in calories. Guess with which you will run longer.. 🤩
@@Tuijatuulia it would be fun if i didn't have to cook, do laundry and clean the house on top of working to support three kids all by myself! when i get to the evening i'm exhausted and i have to work overtime even in bed. i deserve a vacation in finland! 😄
@@orsodaspiaggia I hope you find a solution how to share the home chores (Luckily kids learn fast!) to have more energy and time to rest. I participated to cooking from the age I could reach the counter, so you can teach your kids too. And to clean and so on.
Thank you for watching! ❤️ This kind of comments make my day 🥰 Could you please tap the review stars on this recipe page when you have tested: feelslikefinland.com/blogs/finnish-food-recipes/finnish-rye-bread-with-starter
Thanks! Oh yes I forgot that. I'll be posting that on my page soon to recipe section: feelslikefinland.com/blogs/finnish-food-recipes hopefully this week!
thanks for the recipe, i'm going to have to give a try one of these days. I'm curious what the alcohol content is though - do you think you can do another video showing the hydrometer reading?
Hi, thanks for commenting! Sorry, I don't have a way to measure alcohol content of sima. And during the fermentation it changes every day. But in Finland also kids drink sima, so I guess it's not much even after 1 week
From some rough calculations, 2.5 cups of sugar in 4 liters is potentially 10% ABV But since this calls to ferment room temp for just a day and then a week in the fridge, using active dry yeast, I would _guess_ somewhere around 2-3% max
@@thefrontdoor Then you might like my recipe for Finnish potato hash.. I like my eggs done on both sides but you can do your way! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvStq3Ld6wM.htmlsi=Vl0rchjjrCbexO6P
It is crazy, but youtube reads minds! It was only yesterday that I suddenly got a craving for this pie and I got the suggestion today!!! 😱 Perfect and thank you for the recipe!!! ❤
