The Swedes have this really yummy round, soft flatbread called Polar bread or Tunnbrød. These breads are super easy to make. In the recipe blow I use oatmeal that I turn into flour in a blender. Now, you buy the oatmeal flour in the store, but it is cheaper to do it yourself.

Baking Polar Bread is a fun activity for kids. They can poke with chop sticks and use cutters to cut out gingerbread shapes. These will be popular in their lunch boxes!

Ingredients

1 egg
250 ml lukewarm water
250 ml lukewarm milk
1 satchel dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
100 ml sunflower oil
150 gram oatmeal, ground to flour in blender
800 grams flour

Directions

Combine all ingredients and knead the dough for approx. 10 minutes. When the dough is no longer sticky and is smooth and shiny, set it to rise under some cling film until doubled in size (approx. 30-40 minutes)

Roll out the dough on a surface dusted with flour until 1 cm thick, and cut circles with a glass, or any shape you prefer. Poke the breads with a chopstick or a fork. Place the breads on a baking tin lined with parchment paper. Raise again for approx. 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven, middle rack, at 200 degrees Celsius, until golden (approx. 12-15 minutes). Cool on a rack, but cover with a tea towel so they remain soft. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Or put in freezer for later use.
