fléttust

Fléttust is a term that refers to a type of Icelandic flatbread, typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and sometimes salt. The dough is kneaded and then rolled out into a thin, flat shape, often using a rolling pin. Fléttust is traditionally cooked on a griddle or in a skillet over an open fire, giving it a distinctive smoky flavor and a slightly charred exterior. The bread is often served with various toppings, such as butter, cheese, or smoked fish, and is a staple in Icelandic cuisine. It is known for its versatility and can be enjoyed as a main dish or a side dish, depending on the toppings and accompaniments. Fléttust is a fundamental part of Icelandic culinary heritage and is often prepared during family gatherings and celebrations.
