Mjukkaka is a round flatbread, with a size of a plate, typically baked in a brick oven, and originates from northern Sweden. They are usually made of rye flour, yeast, margarine, water, salt, milk and light treacle. Mjukkaka is used as any regular bread and are served at breakfast or lunch with just butter. The recipe is known to be handed over generation through generation in the northern part of Sweden. The ingredients may vary depending on location and heritage.[1]
Mjukkaka can be baked in an oven (directly at the bottom), in a hot pan or even directly on top of your stove on a heated plate. Making inroads into the bread (by using a rolling pin with deep grooves or just a regular fork) is done in order for it to not rise during baking and instead stay flat.[2]
