Travel to Northern Europe with a batch of traditional Scandinavian Knäckebröd. This quintessential Swedish crispbread is thin, delightfully crispy, and packed with a rich symphony of flavors from the fennel and caraway seeds. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast or a flavorful snack. A staple in Swedish homes since the Viking era, this bread has stood the test of time for its simple ingredients and complex flavors.

Servings: 12

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Water
1 cup
Fennel seeds
1 teaspoon
Caraway seeds
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour
1 cup
Whole wheat flour
1 cup
Rye flour
1 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rye flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, caraway seeds, and fennel seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Pour in the water and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions for easier handling.
  5. Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Take one portion of dough and roll it out into a thin rectangle. The thinner it is, the crispier your Knäckebröd will be.
  6. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
  7. Using a fork, prick the dough all over. This will prevent it from puffing up during baking and ensure a nice, flat crispbread.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  9. Remove the Knäckebröd from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  10. Once cooled, break the crispbread into smaller pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as is or with your favorite spread.
