Knaakkebrod or Nakkileipa (Scandinavian-Style Rye Crisp Bread) image

This is a recipe for Norwegian rye crisp or hardtack called 'knaakebrod,' very similar to the Finnish variety named 'nakkileipa.' These crackers can be dried and stored a very long time, but they're better fresh!

Time 53m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 ⅓ cups rye flour
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup rye meal (pumpernickel flour)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over the water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the rye flour with all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Stir in the salt. Mix in the yeast mixture to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a board floured with rye meal. Knead lightly, mixing in rye meal as needed. Shape dough into a fat roll, and cut into 12 sections. Roll each section into a ball; cover balls with a towel and let rise 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • On a floured board, roll out each ball into a flat round about 4 inches in diameter. Place rounds on prepared baking sheets and prick with a fork.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

The knaakkebrod was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I've tried many knaakkebrod recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of fennel seeds and caraway seeds gives it a unique and flavorful taste.
