Tunnbröd (literally "thin bread") is the Swedish version of flatbread. Tunnbröd can be soft or crisp, and comes in many variants depending on choice of grain, leavening agent (or lack thereof) and rolling pin. The dough is made from any combination of wheat, barley and rye.
Soft tunnbröd[1] is commonly used as a wrap[2] for other food, not unlike a crêpe or burrito. A popular fast food dish is soft tunnbröd rolled around mashed potatoes and a hot dog, known as tunnbrödsrulle (tunnbröd roll).
Another traditional old Swedish method of eating soft Tunnbröd burito style combined with mashed potatoes and roasted herring.
Traditionally, crisp tunnbröd is eaten with Surströmming (fermented herring) and as dopp i grytan (lit. "dip in the pot")- mostly a spiced soft bread is used for this -, where the bread is soaked in the stock left from cooking the Christmas ham. Crisp tunnbröd differs from knäckebröd in being thinner and more compact, containing fewer air bubbles.
