Really Simple Knäckebröd (Crackers) or Knäckies!

Breads

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Knackerbrot
Simple home-made crackers? Yes, really simple! Stir, spread and bake. I can’t take credit for this recipe.  My daughter Ariel learn to make these crackers while working at a Swedish owned bakery in Berlin. These Knäckebröd are a crispy blend of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxmeal, poppy and sesame seeds, with rye or whole wheat flour, or make with garbanzo or cornflour for gluten free. Water and a little oil bind it all together. For extra flavor try pumpkin seed oil, which is now available at Trader Joe’s.

Serve the crackers plain, with cheese, or spreads like my Red Bell Pepper Spread or a spicy hummus dip from my friend Susan at TheWimpyVegetarian.  If you don’t eat the whole batch in one day (I challenge you not to!) they keep a couple weeks in an airtight tin. But don’t store for months and expect the same taste! You can also re-crisp the crackers in a warm oven for a few minutes.

KNÄCKEBRÖD

This recipe is very flexible to the seeds you have on-hand. Just keep the mix about the same volume as the recipe. Use chickpea flour for a gluten-free cracker.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds 100g
  • 3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds 100g
  • 2/3 cup rye or whole wheat flour 90g
  • 2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil or pumpkin seed oil*

GLUTEN FREE VARIATION

  • 3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds 100g
  • 1/2 cup un-hulled sesame seeds 70g
  • 1/2 cup corn flour or chickpea flour 60g
  • 1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds 40g
  • 1/4 cup flaxmeal 30g
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 7/8 cup warm water
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil or pumpkin seed oil*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet, preferably a half-sheet pan 17×13-inch, with parchment or a silpat liner.
  • Stir dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add water and oil; stir to combine. The batter will thicken slightly after about a minute (from the flax), to about the consistency of pancake batter. 
  • Spread very evenly to a scant 1/4-inch on prepared pan.**
  • Bake 15-20 minutes until top feels evenly dry. Remove pan from oven and cut with a sharp knife or pizza cutter into 18 crackers, or desired number. If using silpat, use a table knife and score carefully to avoid cutting the mat.
  • Return to oven and bake additional 15-20 minutes until crackers are golden brown and crisp. Immediately slide a thin spatula under crackers and remove from paper, or flip over and peel paper off. If center crackers are a little moist, return to oven for a few minutes. Cool crackers completely on a wire rack. Store in paper bag or tin.

Notes

*Pumpkin seed oil is a strong flavor, and is a bit pricey; experiment and adjust the amount to your taste.
**Ariel likes the crackers slightly thicker, I like them thinner. If you spread thicker, just bake them a little longer.

      Your hummus is one of my staples, Susan! However, I use sun dried tomatoes instead of your roasted tomatoes because when I have good tomatoes I just want to enjoy them fresh.

        I’m so happy you like my hummus!!! This time of year, I’m not going to waste tomatoes in my garden for hummus either. Sun-dried is a great idea. I always have them around 🙂

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.

Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll kee Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll keep raw cashews on-hand always. Or try with another nut, and let me know which you like best. My gift to you is the recipe below 🙂
Original recipe @leitesculinaria and @inagarten but I first enjoyed it from @mmfooddrink. 🙏 this recipe has been a gift that keeps giving 😂. 
Merry Christmas!

Rosemary Roasted Cashews
 
Heat oven to 350°F
 
Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews on a baking sheet (I usually line sheet with parchment). Bake for 15-20 minutes turning several times until toasted a deep golden brown.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl,  microwave 1 tablespoon salted butter until melted.
Stir in:
one rounded tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 
Add hot cashews to bowl as soon as they are toasted.  Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture.  Stirring while the nuts are hot is the trick. Cool completely in the bowl.
