This unusual bread selection honors the geological legacy of Iceland. Using geothermal heat, a classic Icelandic technique, the bread is baked underground and produces a thick, somewhat sweet loaf with a dark, caramelized crust. Along with indigenous components such Icelandic barley and seeds, the dough is made with a mix of rye and wheat flours. The bread gradually cooks in the natural heat of the earth throughout the 24-hour baking process, absorbing minute mineral overtones from the volcanic surroundings. Present warm with cultured Icelandic butter and black lava salt, this bread provides a taste sensation that ties consumers directly to Iceland's volcanic terroir.
