Rieska bread is a delicious Finnish flatbread. This Rieska bread recipe is a perfect side to soups and stews. Or you can enjoy it with butter and jam, peanut butter, or honey on it.

I tend to make Rieska when I am making soups and in particular this beef stew recipe. It is absolutely delicious, light and fluffy!

What Type of Pan to Use?

I like to use a baking stone when I make Rieska bread. The baking stone gives it a crispy crust while leaving the inside soft and delicious!

I use this Pampered Chef baking stone, but purchasing through a dealer will get you a much better price!

Here is a more affordable baking stone with great reviews.

Tools You Will Need

Wooden Spoon

How to Make Rieska Flatbread

Step One – Gather all of your ingredients.

Step Two – Mix all of the dry ingredients.

Step Three – Add the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. I usually finish the mixing with my hands to prevent over mixing with the wood spoon.

Step Four – Grease the baking stone or pan that you are using. I greased this baking stone with melted butter.

Step Five – Place dough on baking stone.
