Mika Tommola from MTV3 called the other day to ask for a short feature about the oven project at the end of the Sunday evening news- of course, we agreed! Due to rain on Saturday, we moved the baking and interview to today’s afternoon. Since Mika asked for some typical German bread, I prepared some “Mehrkornbrötchen” made from sourdough. Important about German buns in general is a nice crunchy crust and a soft inside, best if still warm. Actually, thinking about it afterwards, I could also have made “Schnittbrötchen”, which are buns with a cut in the middle, so you get a really beautiful crust. Next time! Today was actually the first day of baking rolls and bread in the oven, and it worked really nicely!
We had the freshly baked buns with butter (of course!) and home- made jam made from self-picked aronia berries from Herttoniemi (thanks to Felix, Anna, and Ville for the good hint where to find them!). Unfortunately, I was so busy baking and talking that I forgot to take pictures. Here just one from the set-up, after we had diminished all the bread. :)
