Viking Bread Recipe

This Viking Bread recipe is fun because you can use all the dough to make one big loaf (bake it for an hour), and then rip it apart with your bare hands to share with your friends (or, you know, use a knife….). You can also divide it into smaller loaves so everyone gets their own loaf to tear into.
Kids in the Kitchen: How Your Kids Can Help You Cook
Getting your kids in the kitchen is an amazing way to help them be more interested in trying new foods and confident in their own abilities in (and out of!) the kitchen. This grilled lamb recipe is great because it helps kids learn to use measuring spoons and they get practice whisking liquid ingredients and washing produce. This recipe is perfect for beginner cooks because it is so easy! And it is a great recipe for kids to experiment and become more comfortable with new flavors – which means they are more likely to eat it!
- Kids aged 1-3 can help you measure the ingredients and start mixing them together.
- Kids aged 4-6 can do everything above, plus help you knead the dough together, shape them into equal balls, and top them with oats.
- Kids aged 7-10+ can help you do everything above, plus help you slice the apple and thread the kebabs together.
*Please note that these recommendations are generalized, and to please use your personal discretion with your child’s skill level. And always, always supervise! Read more about how to have your children help you in the kitchen.

My momma is from northern England and traces both her mom and dads, my grandparents, roots back to the Vikings. My grandfather is now passed but made bread just like this. I started googling ingredients and came across this recipe! It’s exactly like his. I do butter and honey mixed together that I dip the bread in! Absolutely amazing! Thank you for helping me find something about him I miss!

Hi, hope all is well. I'm in the UK and wondered what all purpose flour is. We have plain or self raising. I'm guessing it's plain. Really looking forward to baking and eating this Viking bread. According to her DNA tests, my wife is part Scandinavian. Many thanks. Mick

Hi there! First time here and love your site! Question for you, what would work in place of a baking stone? Thank you!

Hi Stephanie! You can use a regular baking sheet instead of a stone!
