Finnish bread

I have seen many different kinds of breads at the local supermarkets here but I never really looked into them (not a superfans of breads except pastries!). I have only tasted one (bought it as my snack), the Rye bread(ruisleipä) - dark, a little sour taste and the most popular type in Finland. This whole-grain Finnish rye bread is extremely healthy and rich in fibre, and it also distinguishes it from rye bread made in other countries.

Today while cooking lunch at home, Jani decided to make me some finnish breads called - Rieska :) And guess what? Neither flour nor baking soda was used but only the following main ingredients:
- oats
- sunflower seeds
- flaxseed powder
- turmeric
- himalayan rock salt
- fat-free buttermilk

Mix all of them in a bowl and spread it out into any shape you want in an oven tray, heat it under 220c for 10-15 mins until the texture turns a bit harder. You may add in any other flavours that you like, to make it sweet or salty. I added cheese with it in the end, it was good!

I love the tender texture of it and it took less than 30 mins of cooking time, simple and easy!

By the way, here's salad with quinoa and steamed asparagus for Jani. He loves seaweed so he rolled some salad with it as well.
