Today we topped the warm Finnish flatbreads with cold smoked salmon a.k.a. I used olive oil instead of the butter only because I didn’t want to melt butter, but either option is fine.īoil the chunks of sweet potato drain & mash.
Reduced the sugar to one teaspoon (some recipes call for up to 1/2 cup!!!) – the sweet potato is nice and sweet on its own, so you could probably skip that too. Keeping with my theme of trading up ingredients for their healthier cousins, I went back to the roots of the traditional Finnish flatbread and used whole grain barley flour instead of standard white flour and
You can use rieska to make an open face sandwich use it as a pizza base serve it warm with a little butter alongside a light soup or salad, or, instead of making the larger version in the photos, make small ones and cover them with different toppings for an appetizer or party food (hello again, Super Bowl fans). You can serve it up in all the places when you would use naan, soft flour tortillas (though these are a lot thicker than your standard tortilla), or if you have made rieska before, than definitely try this recipe instead. With a sweet potato staring up at me from the countertop, waiting to be used, the choice was obvious as to what could be swapped in for the standard spud: Sweet Potato Finnish Flatbread was born. I didn’t want white potatoes and I didn’t want the white flour that is typically added to rieska nowadays either, so I decided that it was a fine day for a Finnish flatbread makeover to make these beloved treats a little healthier. Rieska is an unleavened flatbread made with barley flour and/or rye flour for a very thin bread that looks similar to crisp bread but is not dried completely or in the case of perunarieska, with white potatoes that have been cooked and then mashed (a great way to use up your leftovers) for a thicker, softer, slightly smaller flatbread. But I had a hankering for a nice, soft, warm bread today, and rieska, a Finnish flatbread, came to mind. I know my last post was about sweet potatoes too. Mysteriously, there are already a few missing…
