Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Barley flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, barley flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and melted butter.

Step 4

Gently stir the mixture until it forms a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for just 1-2 minutes to bring it together.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 2-3 equal portions, depending on your desired bread size.

Step 7

Flatten each portion into a round disk, about 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) thick.

Step 8

Place the flattened disks onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to pierce the surface of each disk multiple times to prevent the bread from puffing up too much in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breads are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Finnish flat bread is best enjoyed the day it’s made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
