Kavring is a traditional dark Swedish rye bread, known for its rich flavor and dense texture, often sweetened with molasses.

This bread has a long history in Sweden, where it has been enjoyed for centuries, particularly in rural areas where rye was a staple crop.

To make Kavring, you start by mixing rye flour, wheat flour, molasses, yeast, coffee, and caraway seeds to form a dough. After kneading, the dough is left to rise before being shaped into loaves and baked to perfection.

For a twist, some bakers add nuts or dried fruits to the dough, giving the bread an extra layer of flavor and texture.

In Sweden, Kavring is often served with butter and cheese, or as a side to hearty soups and stews, making it a versatile addition to any meal.

While Kavring is delicious, it's important to note that it can be quite dense and filling, so it's best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those watching their calorie intake.
