Tunnbröd (Swedish Flatbread)
Dip it into your favorite hummus or other dip or serve it alongside a hearty soup or stew. Tunnbröd makes excellent wraps! Pile your favorite ingredients inside and enjoy. For a very traditional Swedish use of tunnbröd, make tunnbrödsrulle : tunnbröd wrapped around a hot dog, mashed potatoes, shrimp salad, crispy onions, ketchup and mustard. I like to keep that concept a bit simpler and wrap a grilled sausage inside the tunnbröd with a generous scoop of Nordic Red Cabbage Slaw.
If you don't plan to enjoy them immediately, store them in a tightly sealed freezer bag or similar freezer-safe container in the freezer. Heat them in a degree oven for minutes to reheat. Looking for other delicious Scandinavian flatbread recipes? I've got several here for you to try:.

I just made these! What a perfect recipe! I can only find hulled barley. I mash and grind it into a flour with a mortar and pestle. That works! Also feel free to substitute rye flour or even whole wheat if that's easier. I do love the flavor of the barley in this recipe, though! Thanks for your comment!
