knäckebröd and crisp bread

Knäckebröd has always been a staple in my normal diet. Unfortunately, all of them are made with grain-flour. I also love British shortbread and crisp bread … and have a similar problem.

For the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with different recipes for knäckebröd, or crisp bread as it were. Finally I ended up with the following base recipe:

  • 80-90g almond flour
  • 1 egg white
  • seasoning (salt, pepper, rosemary, tarragon, etc.)

Mix it all until you have a sticky paste. I tried rolling it, but it does not really work for me. (I added thin – roasted – coconut flakes and crushed hazelnuts in one batch). I started working the dough with fingers, placing a small-ish amount on baking paper and then flattening it out. Adding around it as I went along. I aimed for a a larger square for shape.

(side note: fingers and kitchen table will be a mess)

However, I did cover it with another piece of baking paper and used the rolling pin to get it even thinner. Cut everything into shapes (anything you like) and flonk it into the oven at 150° celsius. You want to dry it to a golden colour and not bake to a rustic (aka burned) flavour.

The batch with the coconut flakes, I left as it and broke them into smaller pieces.

Now I only have to find a lovely dip sauce and a nice movie to go with it. What do you guys think of Iron Sky?
