Crescent shaped sandwiches are quite common in Finland, You take a round rye bread with a hole in the middle and cut your crescent sandwich from that. http://m

  What's that bread called? The things I find with a quick-and-dirty web search for "Finnish bread recipe" don't look like it. Personally, I bake my own bread (whole rye, which doesn't exist where I currently live). It doesn't take as much time or effort as many people seem to think.

    It's called Jälkiuunileipä. There is actually some information in English about it in Wikipedia: > The old tradition was that all bread in the house for the year was baked in a few days, in a large oven that took a long time to cool after being fired. Thus, jälkiuunileipä (lit. after-oven bread) could still be baked in the residual heat. The longer baking time in the lower temperature gives it a darker color, higher density and hardness than regular rye bread, comparable to a fruit cake. In addition to the traditional reikäleipä shape, there are also rectangular ruispala-type pieces available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_bread https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_bread

      Interesting, thanks! I found this recipe: http://www.kotikokki.net/reseptit/nayta/528268/J%C3%A4lkiuunileip%C3%A4/ http://www.kotikokki.net/reseptit/nayta/528268/J%C3%A4lkiuun... which looks quite straightforward once sent through Google Translate. I'll give it a try.
