Swedish Potato Flat Bread Recipe



Swedish Potato Flat Bread Recipe


(my Mom's recipe)


(Two Loaves)


Make and set aside..


2 tsp sugar


2 tsp yeast


1/2 cup warm water




Boil 4 medium potatoes in salted water..

just enough to cover.




Mash pot and add water to make two cups total.

Make sure this is just lukewarm

so it won't kill the yeast.




In Bowl put potato water...the yeast mix

1 TBLSP salt 1/4 cup sugar...


1/4 cup soft butter

Three cups of flour...mix and


add 2 1/2 to 3 more cups of flour slowly

until dough feels "alive"!




Knead....rise...knead...flatten...shape two loaves

(kinda round and flat.....

let rise a little..then poke

about six holes in it with a finger

from each hand.....

stretching two fingers outward

to make fairly large holes.


Toss some flour on cookie sheet

Place loaves on flour and bake 350º

for 35 min or until nice and brown...

Sometimes I bake them at 375º


Cool on rack...slice while hot and butter ...enjoy.
