A Scandinavian flatbread made from rye, barley, or oat flour, traditionally thin and crisp, often used as a foundation for open-faced sandwiches.
From Old Norse and Scandinavian languages, combining 'flat' (level) and 'brod' (bread in Norwegian/Danish). The term reflects the bread-making traditions of Nordic countries dating back centuries.
Flatbrod is designed to be shelf-stable without refrigeration—Scandinavian sailors used to carry it on long voyages because it stayed fresh for months, making it perfect for maritime exploration.
