Rieska, a Finnish flatbread

 


To celebrate our 17th anniversary, the Bread Baking Babes made Rieska, a Finnish flatbread.

It's a simple and easy bread to make with several variations:  you can use barley flour, rye flour, potatoes.  It's your choice.

 While I was making my bread, I realized that I've been making a version of this for many years only without the rye or barley flours.  So, I decided at the last minute to make both recipes:  the original recipe and a modification of my long-standing recipe. I swapped out some of the AP flour with some rye flour.  You really couldn't tell the difference.

 


 It's a quick bread to make if you want a side dish or a sandwich or a snack.  I used some of the bread to make sandwiches with some shredded beef that I had in the freezer.  It was a delicious meal.

Our Kitchen of the Month is Kelly from A Messy Kitchen.  If you want to give it a try, go to her website for the recipe.  

Also, check out the results from the other Bread Baking Babes.

I need to try this version. I love the idea of making a sandwich using this bread.

Sandwich! Yes I just never got there even baking it twice. Isn’t it fun to find you’ve been baking this and then see some variation! Interesting the change was very noticeable. I must bake again and plan for a sandwich.

I like the way you sliced it for sandwiches. Great idea!
