Introduction
To share
Polar bread is a bakery specialty from Swedish Lapland. It is a tender, soft and irresistible flatbread. I like to flavor it with fennel to accompany it with homemade salmon gravlax , for a sandwich or for many other dishes. There is a little rising time for the bread as very often but the result is without appeal compared to those of the trade.
1 serving is 6 pieces
For this recipe, I used:
- An ingenious rolling pin with which you can adjust the thickness of the dough
- A 15cm diameter pastry ring
- A dough picker
The extra thing:
- Cut the dough into squares instead of rounds
- Mix flour with rye flour

| 1 sachet baker’s yeast | |
| 0.5 tsp sugar | |
| 1 pinch salt | |
| 50g heavy cream | |
| 1 pinch fennel seeds ground |

Degas and knead again.
Roll out the dough evenly using a rolling pin, turning it slightly after each movement to obtain a maximum thickness of 6mm. |
