Siggi Rafn Hilmarsson is an Icelandic baker with an unconventional oven.

Siggi Rafn Hilmarsson 是位冰島的麵包師傅，他有個有別於傳統的烤箱

He bakes bread by burying it underground, where it's heated for 24 hours by nearby hot springs.

他烘烤麵包的方式是將麵包埋在靠近溫泉的地底長達 24 小時

It's very common to see hot springs here in Iceland.

在冰島，溫泉是非常常見的

There is constant lava crawling under us.

在我們腳下總有不斷流動的熔岩

This lava is heating up water, and this water comes boiling up on the surface.

熔岩會加熱這些水，這些水的表面就會達到沸騰

We could put it in the oven, but this is much more fun.

雖然我們可以直接用烤箱來烤麵包，但用熔岩烤當然更有趣啦！

Iceland is one of the most volcanic regions in the world, with 30 active volcanoes at any one time.

冰島是世界上火山最多的地方之一，同時有著 30 座活火山

That helps create an abundance of hot springs.

這讓冰島擁有了大量的溫泉

Some with boiling hot water, and Siggi uses them to his advantage.

有些溫泉的溫度甚至達到沸點，Siggi 就會用這種溫泉來烤麵包

He specializes in baking hverabraud,

他很擅長做 hverabraud

a traditional Icelandic rye bread recipe

這是一種冰島的黑麥麵包

that dates back hundreds of years.

起源可以追溯至幾百年前

I know for sure that in this village, I can track it down as far as late 1800 something.

我可以確定，在這座村莊裡，黑麥麵包大概可以追溯至 1800 年代晚期

My grandmother taught my mother how to bake this bread, and my mother taught me.

我的祖母教我媽媽怎麼做這種麵包，然後我媽媽再傳授給我

In the hot spring rye bread recipe, we have rye, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk.

在製作溫泉黑麥麵包時，我們要用到的材料有黑麥、麵粉、糖、泡打粉、鹽和牛奶

We put this in a pot, we put butter in the pot, then we wrap it with plastic foil,

我們把這些材料和奶油拌勻後倒進鍋子裡，然後用錫箔紙包起來

and we put it down in our hot spring hole for 24 hours.

接著再將它埋在靠近溫泉的洞，烘烤 24 小時

It's very obvious to see if the ground is hot or not.

光看告示牌就可以直接知道這邊夠不夠熱

I never use a thermometer.

我從來都不用拿溫度計去測

If I need to check the heat, I just use this one.

如果我真的需要確認熱度的話，我就會用我的手指囉

Our biggest challenge is rain.

烤麵包時最大的挑戰就是下雨

If it rains a lot, these holes that we are using can cool down,

如果雨下得太大，地洞的溫度就會跟著下降

and if they are not hot enough, obviously the bread doesn't bake completely.

而溫度不夠熱的話，我們的麵包當然就會烤不熟

Everybody eats our bread: our visitors, the locals.

所有人都會吃我們的麵包，包括遊客及當地人

Hot spring rye bread has a unique taste that you don't get from ovens.

溫泉黑麥麵包有個獨特的風味，這用烤箱是烤不出來的

The texture of this bread is quite special.

這種麵包的口感很特別

It's quite heavy, it's not the typical light bread.

它非常地紮實，而不是鬆鬆軟軟的

When you show this to travelers that come to Iceland

當你把這種做麵包的方式展示給來冰島玩的遊客看

and you see their faces, they go "Wow!",

你會看到他們的臉上寫著「哇塞！」

then you start to think that this is quite amazing, actually.

然後你也會開始覺得這真的是一件很讚的事
