So you’ve been baking sourdough bread for a while. You’ve got shaping covered, you know how to develop the gluten in the dough, and you even get fermentation right, almost every time, but the one thing that eludes you is the fabled open crumb. Well, the Foodgeek comes to your rescue. This is my recipe for open crumb sourdough bread.

When that’s said, this is NOT a beginner recipe, so if you’re just starting in the sourdough game, you should check out my Master Recipe for Artisan Sourdough Bread. It breaks everything down and makes it easy.

As with any celebration, Danish Christmas is full of traditions. Traditions mean that things have to be a certain way. They have to be the way they’ve always been. But, even if you think things are the same way they’ve always been, over time they will have changed. Mind-blowing, huh? These are my traditional Danish Christmas dinner recipes.

This article and the recipes fall a bit outside what I normally do because I usually either do baking-related stuff, or I will do other cultures’ amazing recipes. Sometimes though, I remember that we also have some amazing recipes in Denmark, so today I will share what Christmas is like in Denmark and what we eat.

Enjoy.

You want something special for breakfast tomorrow morning. I guess you could drive to the bakery and get something good. While that is okay, the stuff that you bake at home is usually much, much better, but what to make? This is my recipe for sourdough cinnamon rolls.

Cinnamon rolls are the stuff of legends. It’s ambrosia. Food of the Gods. When you walk past a bakery or even a 7eleven, and the smell of something freshly baked with cinnamon in it, you just start to instantly salivate. How many people do you know that don’t like a cinnamon bun? If you do, do you trust them?

The perfect companion for a wonderful homemade breakfast, is, in my very humble opinion these delicious crusty sourdough rolls. Together with the cinnamon rolls, this is the breakfast of champions.

Flæskesvær. Now, all there is missing is the iconic rice pudding dessert. Made with the leftover rice porridge from the dinner on the 23rd. This is my recipe for risalamande with cherry sauce.

Christmas traditions are funny. They exist on many levels: religiously, culturally, nationally and of course in each family. In a series of recipes I go through all the classic dishes, we eat for Christmas in Denmark. Maybe you wanna try them too?

By the end of 2021, I am planning to put out a series of recipes for traditional Danish Christmas food. I always enjoy learning about different cultures and what they eat, but during Christmas time I go all traditional, so I thought I’d share my recipes with you. This is my recipe for Danish rice porridge.

In Denmark, we eat this porridge all through December. Both because it’s an easy dinner in a busy month, but also because it’s super delicious and the kids are ecstatic about it.

While it may seem strange to anyone foreign from the Nordic countries, I implore you to read on, it’s such a good dish.
