Flatbrød (literally "flat-bread") is a traditional
peasants. Flat bread is dry and free from water so it is possible to store it for a long period of time.[1]
Background
The basic ingredients are barley flour, salt, and water, though many varieties exist which incorporate other staples.[2]
It was once generally eaten in all meals, most often with
potato, often along with sour cream and/or butter. It may also accompany betasuppe, a traditional meat soup or lobscouse, a traditional stew.[3]
The thinner the bread is, the better it is. It is rolled and then cooked on a large griddle. The tradition of making flat bread used to be passed down through generation after generation by housewives, and each person had her own recipe for preparing it. It is still an important part of Norwegian food traditions, particularly in the countryside.[1]
