Danish marmalade sandwich


  • Author: Chef Kai
  • Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
  • Yield: 12 slices of bread and 3–4 jars of marmalade 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Danish rye bread:

  • 2 cups (500 ml) lukewarm water
  • 1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or molasses
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 3 cups rye flour
  • 1 ½ cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup flaxseeds
  • Optional: ¼ cup rolled oats (for sprinkling on top)

For the orange marmalade:

  • 4 medium oranges
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 3 cups (750 ml) water
  • 4 cups (800 g) granulated sugar

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the bread: Combine lukewarm water, honey, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Mix in buttermilk, salt, seeds, rye flour, and bread flour to form a dough. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl for 1.5 hours, then shape into a loaf and place in a greased pan. Let rise again for 45 minutes. Sprinkle oats on top (optional), bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40–50 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Cool completely before slicing.
2️⃣ Make the marmalade: Thinly slice oranges and lemon, removing seeds. Combine with juice and water in a pot (optional: soak overnight). Simmer for 40–50 minutes until tender. Add sugar, dissolve, and boil for 15–20 minutes until thickened, using the wrinkle test to check doneness. Skim foam, pour into sterilized jars, and seal.
3️⃣ Assemble the sandwich: Slice cooled bread and spread marmalade on each slice. Add cream cheese, brie, or nuts if desired. Serve open-faced or as a classic sandwich.

Notes

Pro oh là là tip: Add a pinch of sea salt or a drizzle of honey on top of the marmalade for a gourmet touch that enhances both the sweetness and tanginess of the spread!
