Swedish Crispbread Crackers

By Casa de Suna

Published Sep 21

When it comes to crispy crackers, Scandinavians know what they’re doing.

We’ve created a homemade version of the cultural staple that makes an amazing base for a nutritious breakfast. Top with smoked salmon if you want to pay serious homage; smear with nut butter, honey, and berries for a sweeter treat; or go protein-packed by topping with avocado, jammy eggs, and delicious flaky salt.

How to Make It

Difficulty: Easy

Overall Time: 1 hr 40 min

Prep Time: 20 min + 30 min resting time

Cook Time: 20 min + 30 min cooling time

Serves: Makes 24 crackers

INGREDIENTS
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup rye flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine kosher salt
  • ½ cup oat flakes
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup flax seeds
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup sunflower oil

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Set aside.
  2. Combine flours with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add oats and seeds, stirring to fully combine. Make a slight well in the center of dry ingredients, then pour in water and oil. Stir mixture with a fork until a sticky dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes.
  3. Cut dough in half and shape each into a disc. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough between 2 large pieces of parchment paper to ⅛-inch thickness and approximately 9 x 12 inches in size. Peel off the top piece of parchment and trim edges, if desired. Cut dough lengthwise in half, then crosswise into sixths to make twelve rectangles. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, at least ½-inch apart. Repeat with remaining dough.
  4. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching sheets halfway through, until crackers are crisp and lightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

How to Store It

Crackers will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
