Recently we made another version of a crispbread. But this time I am using a Swedish deep notched wooden rolling pin. This is a special rolling pin that helps to create a pattern on the Swedish Crispbread or knäckebröd. 😀

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 1/2 cups wholewheat rye flour
• 2 1/2 cups wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp instant dried yeast Crispbread Toppings:
• 1 tsp salt or sea salt flakes
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp caraway seeds or cumin

Instructions:

1. Heat the cream and water together until warm to the touch.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast and stir.
3. Add the water mixture and mix together to form a dough.
4. Knead it for 2-3 minutes.
5. Place the large ball in a bowl, cover with a cloth and leave somewhere warm for 20-30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 450F
7. Then roll the dough out using an ordinary rolling pin to about 8 to 10 inches large circle until it is as thin as possible.
8. Sprinkle with the salt, sesame seeds and cumin seeds.
9. Roll again to help the topping stick with deep notted rolling pin.or make a pattern on the surface using a fork.
10. Bake at a degree of 450 F for 4 to 5 minutes
11. Take it out of the oven and flip the bread.
12. Then bake it for 2 to 3 more minutes. Enjoy the crispbead with a slice of cheese or jam. 🍽️ ❄️We hope you enjoyed our video and recipe! ❄️ Give us thumbs up if you like this video & subscribe for more videos. 👍👍 Thanks! Tak!

Flatbraud - How to Make Icelandic Rye Flatbread

Flatbread (flatkökur or flatbarud in Icelandic or pottbraud) is the oldest type of Icelandic bread. The tradition of baking flatbread in Iceland dates back to the settlement in 874 AD. Flatbread is especially popular in Iceland during the mid-winter festivals called Thorrablot during the month of Thorri, which are held in Iceland during January and February.  The Thorrablot begins with Husband's Day and ends on Woman's Day.

The Flatbred can be bought in every grocery store in Iceland, and it is most often served with butter, smoked lamb, smoked salmon or trout.

in our YouTube video

The ingredients for the flatbread are:

• 1 1/2 cup rye flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/8 cup boiling water

Instruction:

1. Combine and mix together the following, rye flour, salt, baking powder, and gradually add the boiling water. 
2. Knead the dough firmly to a smooth ball without cracks and does not stick to the counter. 
3. Roll out the dough till approx. 2 mm thick. Place a plate on the dough and cut it out to round cakes.  
4. In order to prevent air bubbles to form on the flatbread you pierce it with a fork.
5. Heat a hotplate or frying pan (without any oil or butter) and bake each cake at a very high temperature until there are black spots on the side, which is facing down.  Then flip it and bake it on the other side, till it also has black spots.
6. Quickly dip the flatbreads into lukewarm water.
   
7. Stack them under a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Enjoy the flatbread with your favorite topping.  We served the flatbread as appetizers with smoked salmon and capers.
