Savor the crisp, hearty goodness of Knäckebröd, a traditional Swedish crispbread made with whole wheat and caraway seeds. Perfect for a cozy snack or as a base for your favorite toppings any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons oil (canola or olive)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

  3. 3

    Add water and oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick, and cut into desired shapes.

  6. 6

    Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick with a fork to prevent puffing.

  7. 7

    Bake in preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes until crisp and lightly browned.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy with butter or cheese.
