Peenleib (Sweet and Sour Rye Bread)

Peenleibleib means "bread"—is an Estonian sweet and sour rye bread that has a complex flavor. Part of the uniqueness of the bread lies in its long preparation time; the dough starter must be allowed to ferment for two and a half days. The combination of rye flour and cake flour creates a tangy sweetness that makes peenleib a favorite of Estonian bakers.
