  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (66.8 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 35 g Flour, rye
  • 25 g Water
  • 5 g Sunflower oil
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 1 g Caraway seeds
  • 0.3 g Yeast, active dry

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the rye flour with the salt and caraway seeds, then stir in the oil and the yeasted water to form a firm, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Roll the dough out very thin on a floured surface, as thin as you can manage, and prick all over with a fork.
  4. Cut into rounds or rectangles and transfer to a lined baking tray.
  5. Bake at 200 C (400 F) for 12-15 minutes until crisp and lightly browned, flipping halfway through for even crispness.
  6. Cool completely on a wire rack; the crispbread keeps, well wrapped, for weeks.
