Tienpohjissa

Tienpohjissa is a traditional Finnish dish that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among younger generations. The name "tienpohjissa" translates to "road bottoms" in English, referring to the thin, crispy bottom crust of the dish. It is a type of flatbread that is typically made with a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a bit of salt. The dough is rolled out thinly and then cooked on a hot griddle or pan until the bottom becomes crispy and golden brown. Tienpohjissa is often served as a side dish, accompanied by various toppings such as butter, jam, or smoked salmon. It can also be used as a base for more elaborate dishes, such as a breakfast sandwich or a wrap. The dish is a staple in Finnish cuisine and is often enjoyed with coffee or tea. Despite its humble origins, tienpohjissa has become a beloved part of Finnish culinary culture, reflecting the country's appreciation for simple, hearty foods.
