🇸🇪 Sweden recipe

Knäckebröd

Swedish crispbread has been a staple of the Scandinavian pantry for over 500 years, originally baked twice a year and stored on poles hung from the ceiling. This homemade version uses a blend of rye and wheat flours enriched with seeds, rolled paper-thin and baked until dry and shattering. The result is far superior to anything from a box — nutty, deeply flavored, and satisfying with just butter and cheese or piled high with smoked salmon and cream cheese.
