Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rye flour
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Sunflower seeds
- 30 grams Sesame seeds
- 30 grams Flaxseeds
- 10 grams Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and salt.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together and has a slightly sticky texture.
Divide the dough in half. Place one portion of the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it out thinly using a rolling pin, about 2-3 mm thick. Repeat with the second portion.
Transfer the rolled-out dough on the parchment paper to the prepared baking sheets.
Use a knife or a pizza cutter to score the dough into rectangles or squares of your desired size. This makes it easier to break apart after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crispbread is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Break along the scored lines into individual pieces.
Store the Knäckebrot in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness. Enjoy as-is or topped with your favorite spreads, cheeses, or smoked salmon!
