How to Make Rieska Finnish Quick Flat Rye Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rye flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky. Don't worry, that's how it should be!
  3. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to shape into rounds or squares, if desired.
  4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (240°C). Place the Rieska on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings - butter, soups, stews, or even a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.
