Who needs an oven for baking fresh bread when the Earth itself is happy to do the job for you?
See one unique way Icelanders put their thin-skinned island to excellent use in this video that will only make a trip to this fascinating place all the more tempting.
As Alison E Grasso explained at Here Say:
In my research of “cool Iceland foods” (very possibly my actual Google search) I came upon the Rye Bread Experience offered at Laugarvatn Fontana Spa, just about an hour outside of Reykjavik…
…[M]y cousin and I went, and we filmed, and we ate dense, sweet, molasses-y bread that Viktor took straight out of the bubbling sand, topped with an alarmingly thick cut of Icelandic butter that looked like cheese, but wasn’t. We learned about the geothermal activity surrounding Laugarvatn, which translates to “hot spring lake,” and how locals from nearby share the six geothermal “ovens” for personal cooking, like slow-cooked lamb.
