Samvirke bread for butter

Apparently this bread should be good to served together with butter, plenty of butter ! I have found the recipe in Samvirke, issue December 2014. The use of brown sugar and sugar is giving the breads a warn, nice brown colour.

For this bread recipe fits perfect served together with pate, sausages and other type of cold meat in connection with lunch or tapas. The bread also works as a good alternative for rye bread. It is not the last time, I will be baking this type of bread.
