Knackebrod - Easy Recipe For Swedish Crisp Bread

id="mod_36621460">Knackebrod - recipes and facts
Wonderful high fiber crackers!


In all the schools in Sweden this bread is always served together with the food.

Some people like to break it into small pieces and eat it with milk and lingonberry jam in a bowl. I love to eat this bread with spread shrimp-cheese on! I always have Knäckebröd at home. I do not bake this bread since the ones in the store are so good and they have many kinds. Still I will post some recipes for you to try. I have made Knäckebröd myself and know that it is easy. In these recipes they tell you to use milk. But I always used water.

So when it comes to factory made knäckebröd - Wasa is the world's largest producer of crispbread. Every year the company sells around 60,000 tons of crispbread in 40 countries. Swedish people eat more crispbread than any other people in the world, almost 4 kilograms per capita.

Here is the link to Wasa in English
[ ]
I recommend that you watch the Wasa story - a video in English

In the IKEA food stores - there is knäckebröd to buy.


Buy crispbread from Amazon[ Wasa Multi Grain Crispbread, 9.7 Ounce (Pack of 12)]Although rye is the most important flour used in this bread, there's a number of other kinds of grain in this bread. this mixture gives that special, delicious flavor you always connect with Swedish crispbread.[ Buy Now] 





Do you wonder why there is a hole in the middle of the round cakes? It is because in old days the bread was hanging on a pole above the stove to keep it dry. I tried it for real and it works so good.
































Some call it Swedish flatbread.well - it is flat for sure and high fiber crackers
Awesome Swedish flatbread. Goes well with soups and cheeses. Comes out similar to Rye Crisp. You can try this with wheat flour instead of rye. I would not recommend plain white flour but any 'grain' flour tried might be interesting. Lovely high fiber crackers

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups rye flour, whole wheat is fine

3/4 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup milk, plus 1 T more if needed

Directions

Combine flour, sugar and salt in mixing bowl or food processor and cut or pulse in butter.

Gradually add the milk with a spoon or pulse until you have a stiff dough.

On a lightly floured board roll out as thin as you can.

Cut dough into strips about 2"x3" and punch lots of small holes in each.

Bake at 300 on lightly greased pan until lightly browned- about 10 minutes.

Cool on wire rack then store at room temperature.

Will keep 5-7 days.

Wasa Crisp Bread is so good!
This bread can be saved for week, yes even months. You will always have bread in the house.

Some like to eat it with spread cheeze and others with butter only. The old folks like to break it into smaller pieces and add it to the lingonberry jam on a plate. That is really good! I tried it with porridge too.

Another kind of Swedish flat bread is Tunnbrod (literary thin bread ) - loved and liked


Tunnbröd can be both hard or soft. The hard one you eat just like the ordinary knäckebröd.

The dough is made from any combination of wheat, barley and rye.

The soft one we make wraps from. We fill our wraps with what ever we like the most. A popular fast food dish is soft tunnbröd rolled around mashed potatoes and a hot dog.

Traditionally, crispy tunnbröd is eaten with Surströmming (fermented herring)! Another traditional old Swedish method of eating soft Tunnbröd burrito style combined with mashed potatoes and roasted herring. I love it with chicken curry and sallad! You can bring the roll to a picknick or just for lunch at work. Here in Sweden you can often find them where fast food is sold. (Look for "Tunnbrödsrulle")





IKEA sells these flat breads as well as ordinary knackebrod




A common Swedish breakfastCrispbread - what else...

Swedish knackebrod makes 12 crackers.


These crackers taste great with a savory light cream cheese and cucumbers as well as jam or hummus.

I love Siljans. I never thought that I could make Crispbread in my home! My grandparents were from Sweden, and my grandfather was famous (in my family, anyway!) for his wonderful Swedish rye bread. I have never tasted any bread like his - more like cake than bread, and we loved sandwiches made from it. How I long for the day when I'll see him again! Maybe he'll share his secret recipe with me. :)

I usually buy it pre-packaged and it is indeed delicious! You can spread cream cheese on it or have it with butter and cheese or butter and cold cuts...The possibilities are endless! Unlike regular crackers, these don't tend to crack when you spread toppings on them (and I love that). They also have a very light flavor.

Very nice lens, 5*****. I don't think too many Americans are familiar with crispbreads, although you can buy them in the supermarkets. They are really good. I grew up in Poole in Dorset, England, home of RYVITA which is a very famous English version. I was surprised to see that this is available all over the USA. Nice to see the video of the dancing men as well.
