Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

Danish Rye Bread Recipe

Ingredients for the starter-dough:
- 1 dl of sourdough
- 350-400 grams of rye flour
- 4 dl of water

Ingredients for rye bread (preferably organic):
- Rye flour
- 250 grams of unsoaked cracked rye (should be soaked from day 1)
- 1-2 handfuls of seeds (sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds or other similar)
- 1 spoonfull of salt
- 1-2 spoonfulls of malt sirup (or dark sirup or honey)
- Water (adjust if the dough becomes too dry)

I hope that the process is understandable once you have watched the video a couple of times and got familiar with the processes!

————————-
Update – September 2015:

If the final bread is too sticky or too difficult to get right, then try adding a handfull of wheat flour to the dough (not the starter-dough) along with the cracked rye, seeds, salt, malt sirup and water. Then adjust the consistency using rye flour as explained in the video.

I have also found out that letting the starter-dough mature in the refrigerator for 1-3 days gives a more complex flavour in the final loaf. Additionally it prolongs the shelf-life of the loaf.

Letting the dough rise in the refrigerator for 24 hours instead of overnight also improves the flavour by increasing the acidity to a pleasant amount and by improving the complexity of flavours.

I hope you find these tips useful and keep baking and enjoying the bread!

Thank you, Anders
