Traditional Polish Square Bread

Traditional Polish Square Bread, known as chleb żytni or staropolski chleb żytni, is a staple of Polish baking. Made from rye flour and natural sourdough, it is baked in a rectangular pan that gives it its distinct square shape. Its dense, moist crumb and slightly tangy taste embody the authenticity of traditional Polish bread. Rich in fibre and naturally preserved by fermentation, it pairs beautifully with cold cuts, cheeses, or hearty soups. A true artisanal loaf that reflects centuries of Polish breadmaking heritage.
