SWEDISH LIMPA BREAD
Limpa bread is a traditional Swedish rye bread which is flavored with molasses, anise, and orange peel. Limpa bread is moist and extremely flavorful with a rich, almost intoxicating odor. This bread is extremely popular in Sweden and in areas with a large Swedish population. This recipe is also easily made into rolls, if you wish. From the Minnesota Scandinavian chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
