EstoEtno Fine Bakery

ores and farmers markets across the South. Yet I always found that none tasted like the real thing. I soon realized that almost all of the rye bread in America is actually made from wheat--with a little rye flour added. For a while, I settled (quite happily) for organic multi-grain bread from our local farmers market. But it did not fill the void of rye bread in my life. I found that anytime I visited my homeland of Estonia, I returned with my suitcase filled with loaves of fresh rye bread from both grocery stores and the local artisan bread shops. Finally, because I was already an avid baker (of mostly cakes and pies to fulfill my cravings for mildly sweet baked desserts), I decided to try making it myself! It took me a while--and a lot of trial and error--to master the process and create the recipe I truly liked. I even returned to Tallinn just to visit Estonian bakeries (okay, not really just for that!) and learn the best-kept secrets of artisan bread bakers. Today, I am excited to share with you my very own authentic Estonian hand made dark fermented 100% rye bread along with other fine baked goods at EstoEtno Fine Bakery. Tiina D'Souza, Owner/Baker
