Creamy Skyr with salmon on lava bread

Creamy Skyr with salmon on lava bread

Take a bite of true Icelandic tradition with this open-faced salmon sandwich covered with creamy Skyr, smoked salmon and a sprinkle of fresh dill. Enjoy on homemade Icelandic lava bread baked and buried in the sand of a volcanic beach. Or, in this case, baked in a slow cooker – it will almost do the same job. Get a taste of authentic Nordic flavours and enjoy the sweet balance between mild and slightly sour Skyr and salty smoked salmon.

Preparation
Lava bread:
  • 1.   Gather the ingredients.

  • 3.   Mix in the brown sugar.
  • 4.   Stir the molasses into the scalded lukewarm milk until it dissolves. Stir yeast into the lukewarm milk.

  • 7.   Butter the insides of a 3-4 liter pot.
  • 8.   Pour the bread dough into the pot and cover with a lid.
  • 9.   Bake the dough in a preheated oven at 180oC for about 50 min (core temperature of 95oC)
