Believe it or not, sandwiches (or smörgåsar, as we say in Swedish) make a great fika! Even though we Swedes love something sweet with our coffee or tea, we also love our sandwiches. I usually eat mine with butter, cheese, ham, tomatoes and cucumber. When I'm back home at my parents' house, I'll even top my bread with liver paté and pickled cucumber. You'll just have to take my word for it, it's delicious.
If you ask me what foods I miss the most from Sweden, bread would be high up on that list for sure. I love my bread grainy and wholesome, which can be hard to find here in the grocery stores. So, when my cousin Anna-Karin recommended this recipe, I got really excited.
What I love about this bread is that there's no dough that needs to rise, and it doesn't take hours to make. You just stir the ingredients together and pour into a loaf pan, and bake. And more importantly, this bread is super healthy and gluten free, made with all sorts of nuts and seeds, like flax and chia. Bread that's actually good for you!

This bread would probably be really delicious with some dried apricots or cranberries in it. I might have to give that a try next time!
Bon appetit!
Ibland känner man för att fika med en god smörgås istället för något sött till kaffet. Något jag verkligen kan längta efter här i USA, är ett gott och nyttigt fullkornsbröd. Jag blev så glad när min kusin Anna-Karin tipsade mig om det här receptet. Det är ett jättegott glutenfritt bröd, fyllt med nyttiga nötter och fröer. Att brödet dessutom inte behöver jäsa, utan att ingredienserna bara blandas samman och hälls i en limpform, är ett stort plus!
