Razava Bread

Since 1888
Razava (ra-ZA-va) was a dark, nutritious bread born in Eastern Europe. It was made from hearty flour that kept more of the grain's natural goodness, and they said if you ate enough of it, you would become as strong as a horse. Henry Baldinger brought the recipe to St. Paul in 1888 and turned it into a dense rye at his family bakery on Carroll Avenue—just over a mile from our new home at Grand and St. Albans.
