Knäckebröd

In Sweden, Knäckebröd is a crisp bread (cracker) made from rye. This cornmeal variation with seeds is delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 13 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup flax seeds
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions:

  • Heat 1¼ cups of water to boiling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the boiling water along with the olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough.
  • Cover two regular cookie sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough, and with your hand in a plastic bag or plastic wrap, press out the dough in a very thin sheet.
  • Sprinkle with coarse salt. Score for easier portioning.
  • Bake in a low oven (300-305°) for one hour. Break apart.
