Potato flat bread--peruna rieska

We needed some fresh bread to go with the hot dog soup yesterday, so I made potato flat bread.  This is a great bread to make if you have leftover mashed potatoes, like we did.

I used: 

2 cups mashed potatoes (5 dl)

4 Tablespoons butter, melted (about 50 g)

1 1/4 cups of flour (3 dl)

1/4 cup of rye flakes

No trick to making these, I just mixed everything well in a bowl.  For variation, you could substitute whole wheat flour.  You could also trade out the rye flakes for other grains such as oatmeal or cracked wheat, or just omit them and add a little extra flour.

The dough was very sticky, but I sprinkled it with extra flour and used about 1/3 of the dough to make a thin round on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

I used a fork to make a criss-cross design on the bread, and baked it at 450 F (250 C) for about 20 minutes, on the bottom rack of the oven.

Cut in wedges and enjoy it while it is warm!
