This special division of the Danish Pastry House is all about bread, or “brød” in Danish (say “broy”). For company president Anita Lauritsen, bread occupied a very special place in her upbringing. In fact, in Danish households it’s customary to eat rye or French bread for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Drawing on family recipes, Lauritsen and her team of bakers have created several rustic breads for you to enjoy. Choose from Danish Rye Bread, “Rugbrød,” a dense, dark loaf; Danish Stone Age Bread, “Stenalder Brød,” a Paleo-friendly, gluten-free loaf that’s packed with protein; and Danish French Bread, “Fransk Brød,” a traditional white loaf topped with poppy seeds.
