Treat your ingredients with care...

• Rye flour — Rye flour adds a distinct flavor to Tunnbröd. If you prefer a milder taste, you can replace half of the rye flour with all-purpose flour.
• Honey — The honey adds a touch of sweetness to the bread. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of honey or substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar.

Tips & Tricks

• For a crispier Tunnbröd, you can brush each side with a little oil before cooking.
• To keep the Tunnbröd warm and soft, stack them on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel.
• Tunnbröd can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature before using.

Serving advice

Serve Tunnbröd warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own, as a wrap filled with your favorite ingredients, or as a side to soups, stews, or salads.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, fold the Tunnbröd into triangles or roll them up tightly. Serve them on a wooden board or a traditional Swedish platter for an authentic touch.
