Rupjmaize is a traditional dark bread made from rye and is considered to be the staple of the Latvian diet. [1] [2] The first written references to Latvian rye bread are found in a recipes book dating back to 1901.[ citation needed]
The bread is made in a wood fueled hearth furnace from coarse (1740. and 1800. type) rye flour, with the addition of malt and caraway seeds as ingredients, giving the bread its characteristic flavor and aroma. [3]
It is also used to make Rupjmaizes kārtojums, a traditional Latvian dessert.
Salinātā rudzu rupjmaize is a special type of Rupjmaize, which has been sweetened by pouring hot water over (part of) the rye flour. It was registered as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed in the EU in 2013. [4]
