SWEDISH CRISPBREAD (KNäCKEBRöD)



Swedish Crispbread (Knäckebröd) image

This is the traditional Swedish crispbread often served at Midsummer or Christmas together with herring and cheese (SOS - Sill, Ost, Smor). I prefer fennel as a spice, but you could try caraway or aniseed, or a mixture as well. Make sure the oven is as hot as possible. The hole in the middle is traditional, and necessary for the placing on the stick. If you don't have a Swedish roller, prick the breads everywhere with a fork before baking.

3 1/2 cups coarse rye flour
1 1/2-2 cups wheat flour

  • Use plenty of rye flour when rolling.
  • Make a one-inch hole in the middle.
  • Prick the surface all over with a fork (in Sweden we have special rolling pins for this purpose).
  • Bake one at a time on a dry tray in the oven for about 2-4 minutes.
  • They should get brown, but not too burnt.
  • Slip them on a stick (e. g. a broom) through the hole in the middle to cool.
