Our family’s old recipe, very tasty and filling.

Mix the first five ingredients together and let stand, covered, for 30 minutes. Then add the rye and wheat bran and stir in. Line a bread pan with baking paper and pour in the batter. Preheat the oven to approximately 160°C (top/bottom heat) and bake the bread for approximately three hours. Cover the bread with aluminum foil for the last hour. After baking, wrap the bread in a damp cloth and let it cool. Let the bread rest in the cloth for another 12 hours before slicing.
