'''[[Template:Suojattu Maantieteellinen Merkintä|SMM]] Kainuun rönttönen''' is a small, round, [[rye]]-crust, open pie filled with cooked mashed [[potatoes]], [[rye]] [[flour]] and [[lingonberries]]. The filling is a sweet-tasting, reddish-brown mixture of [[mashed]]
[[potatoes]] and [[lingonberries]], glazed with melted [[butter]].

'''Geographical area'''

The Kainuu Region, which is located in the Province of Oulu, consists of 8 municipalities
and two cities. Kainuu has a population of 86 000 and a population density of 4 persons per
square kilometre. The total surface area of Kainuu is 24 451 km2; of which 12 % is covered by water.
There are more than 2 million hectares of forest, and the landscape is generally characterised by hills,
forests, bodies of water and marshland.

'''Proof of origin'''

The products are made in accordance with current legislation, and product traceability is ensured by mentioning the name of the producer on the package, or on the
product label which must be affixed to the package. Production must take place in the geographical
area which has been defined for the production of Kainuun rönttönen.

'''Method of production'''

The Kainuun rönttönen pie is made in three stages: first you make the filling, then
you prepare the crust, and finally the two are combined. Kainuun rönttönen are one hundred per cent
handmade, starting with the measuring of the ingredients. Machines are used only to help [[knead]] and
roll the [[dough]] and peel the [[potatoes]].

'''Ingredients''':

— '''Crust''':

— 0,500 kg cold water,
— 0,007 kg [[salt]],
— 0,300 kg [[wheat]] [[flour]],
— 0,800 kg [[rye]] [[flour]],
— 0,050 kg [[rapeseed oil]].

— '''Filling''':

— 2,000 kg [[potatoes]],
— 0,300 kg [[rye]] [[flour]],
— 0,400 kg [[mashed]] [[lingonberries]],
— 0,100 kg [[sugar]],
— 0,007 kg [[salt]].

'''Preparing the filling''':

— Peel the [[potatoes]] and boil them in water until soft. Strain and mash the [[potatoes]].

— Let the mashed [[potatoes]] cool a little, then add the [[rye]] [[flour]] and mix.

— Leave the mixture at room temperature for 2 or 3 hours to allow it to sweeten. Stir the mixture
every now and then.

— Once the mixture has cooled and sweetened, mix in the sugared mashed [[lingonberries]] and the [[salt]].

'''Preparing the crust''':

— Dissolve the [[salt]] in the cold water. Gradually stir in the [[rye]] [[flour]], then the [[wheat]] [[flour]] and some
[[sourdough]] starter. [[Knead]] into a dough. Finally, mix in the [[rapeseed oil]].

— Roll out the [[dough]] to a thickness of 2 mm. Cut out circles of [[dough]] (diameter 50-130 mm) with a
cutter. Fill the crusts with a thick layer of the filling, spreading the filling to within 1 cm of the
edge. The correct ratio between the filling and crust is 1:1.

'''Folding, crimping and baking the Kainuun rönttönen pies''':

— Fold the edges of the crust up over the filling, leaving the centre of the pie uncovered, and crimp
the edges by pinching them evenly into smooth, rounded ridges. Place the pies on a baking tray.

— Bake the pies in a hot oven until they are crisp and their edges are golden brown. Remove them
from the oven and brush their edges with melted [[butter]].

'''Storing the Kainuun rönttönen pies''':

— Crispy Kainuun rönttönen pies are most delicious when served slightly cooled.

— They can be stored at room temperature for a day or two, covered with a cloth or in a paper bag.
They can be kept in the refrigerator for a week. Simply reheat before serving.

— Pies can be frozen either before or after baking to increase their shelf life. Pies that are frozen raw
can be baked in the required amounts when needed.

'''Link''':

[[Bread]] and [[pastries]] feature prominently in the cuisine of Kainuu. In their book ''Kainuun leipä'' (Bread in Kainuu), Götha and Reima Rannikko wrote: ‘While the same basic types of [[bread]] are baked
throughout Kainuu, dozens of local specialities are found in different parts of the region. As a result of
our five years of work, we have managed to identify approximately one hundred different types of
basic [[breads]] and pastries in Kainuu. This number increases if all of the variations and nuances are
taken into account. The diversity of the [[bread]] and [[pastry]] culture is at least partly due to Kainuu's
geographical location at the crossroads of cultural influences from Northern Ostrobothnia, Savo and
Russian Karelia’.

The story goes that, in bygone days, when food was scarce at the end of the winter and the men had
to go logging, the women would scrape the last [[lingonberries]] from the bottom of the barrel, grab the
last of the [[potatoes]] from the [[potato]] bin and bake the mixture on a [[rye]] crust. The result was a
rönttönen, a large, rich pie. Nowadays they also make smaller, cocktail-size rönttönen.

Human beings can distinguish four primary tastes: salty, sweet, sour and bitter. In the olden days,
when [[sugar]] was scarce or unobtainable, Kainuun rönttönen satisfied people's craving for something
sweet, the sweetness coming from allowing the [[potatoes]] to sweeten. The leavening process produces
the light crust and succulent taste. Oven-baked rönttönen are unique, crisp pastries.

The rönttönen pie is recognised as a product solely and specifically originating from Kainuu. It is a local
speciality of Kuhmo. In textbooks and cookery books rönttönen pies are automatically associated with
Kainuu. For example, the recipe for rönttönen published in a book called ''Baker's à la carte'' (by Manne
Stenros) was provided by one of the Kainuu-based producers who is involved in this application.
Several kinds of pies are produced in the Kainuu area, but only the particular open pie baked according
to this recipe is called rönttönen.

The connection to the Kainuu region is documented, for example, in
the recipe book: ''Suomalaisia leipäerikoisuuksia'' (‘Finnish bread specialities’) (Leipätoimikunta 1988).
The common history of the region and the product is best described in Götha and Reima Rannikko's
book ''Kainuun leipä'' (‘Kainuu's bread’) (Otava 1978). Kainuun rönttönen is cited as an example of
baking in the Kainuu area in a book by the chef Jaakko Kolmonen: ''Suomen maakuntaleivät'' (‘Breads
of Finland's Regions’), which contains recipes for almost 80 different types of Finnish bread. Literary
works depicting life in the Kainuu area, such as Veikko Huovinen's ''Muina miehinä'', specifically
describe Kainuun rönttönen as a local product. Kainuun rönttönen pies are an essential part of Kainuu's
cultural events, such as the annual traditional Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival, which brings together
people from around the world and gives them the opportunity to try the local specialities. Kainuun
rönttönen were presented at the Festival of Finnish Food Culture in Helsinki in 1998, the Helsinki Rural
Markets in 1994 and the Stuttgart Confectionery and Bakery Fair in 1996. It has also featured prominently
in Kainuu's display at the annual Tourism Fair in Helsinki.

Kainuun rönttönen used to be served with [[soup]], and this tradition lives on. It makes a delicious, nutritious
snack for both children and adults, and requires only the addition of a little [[butter]], to taste. It
goes well with [[coffee]] and is ideal to take on trips.
