Nordic baking refers to the traditional baking practices found in the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. It emphasizes the use of simple, high-quality ingredients such as flour, butter, sugar, and seasonal fruits. Common baked goods include cinnamon buns, rye bread, and cardamom rolls, often enjoyed with coffee or tea. This style of baking is characterized by its focus on rustic flavors and textures, often incorporating whole grains and natural sweeteners. Techniques may vary by region, but many recipes are passed down through generations, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Nordic people.
