    Tried this today! A bit strange to my American pallet. Easy to make. It was MUCH better once it was cooled and I would call it a cracker and not bread. Thanks for the unique recipe. One note: In the future I would adjust the salt downward as sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in the US almost always come salted.

    • I can imagine. My ex-wife is American and she thought we ate some weird stuff 🙂

      Knækbrød means “bread that cracks”, so I guess it makes sense 🙂

    I made this today. Mine needed a lot more than 75 mls of water. The dough was so stiff I could not roll it . I think I added at least another 40 mls. My oven at 180 degrees with the fan was too hot and I burnt them in under 20 mins. The edible ones were really yummy, so I will try again soon.

    Can I use light rye flour instead of dark rye flour? Is there a big difference?

    • You can. It won’t have as much of rye taste as if you use dark, but I’m sure it’ll still be delicious 🙂

    Made these today exactly as written and they are the best! 5 stars Thanks Sune! Forgot to cut them before baking so I used a pizza cutter after 20 minutes and continued to bake. Next time and there will be a next time I will use 2 baking sheets as I felt I could roll them thinner if I had more room. Feeling healthy with all those seeds, fiberlicious 😁

    Just tried your knäckebrüd recipe. All looks great, but despite the fact that I used a quality parchment paper, my knäckebrüd stuck to the parchment paper and it was very difficult to separate it. Any suggestions?

    Hi Sune! Thanks for the recipe, I made it – it was delicious!
    How do you keep this bread? Mine has gone soft after 1 day so I’m not sure if I underbaked it or it is the English weather working its magic… 🙂

    • I put it in a airtight container with kitchen towel in between 🙂

      You may wanna bake it a bit more too 🙂

    Hello. Had a go at the sourdough crackers and was really looking forward to making these but I have a problem. Did everything as per recipe with a little water, but wasn’t sure how much to use and left the dough to ferment. Now that I try to roll it out it is REALLY difficult and after half an hour I have put it in the oven but much thicker than they should be. Why is that please?

    My second attempt at the knackebrod. First time I did not roll it thin enough. This time everything seemed right but really struggled to remove the baking paper from the brod after baking! Also after 2 hours on the counter the dough was no longer a paste but had hardened. I decided to add more water at that stage and mix in and leave for another hour. Something is not yet right! Also please provide a key word search on your site! Love the channel. Thank you

    Hey Sune. Lefty guitarist here. Been using your site for so long I feel like a brother. I’m going to slide my recipe directly onto the baking stone this time and give that a try. Last one I made I finished off in my Excalibur dehydrator. I liked the way it finished. I’ll let you know how the baking stone works out when it’s done.

    Hi Sune, love your recipies and videos. I made the Knäckebrot today for the first time… somehow it was really stuck to the paper, when I tried to remove the pieces… some still have paper stuck to them. Do you have any idea what I did wrong?

    Thank you and best regards from Germany

    THE NOISY GUY ADDED NOHING.
    Your recipe seemed to show 85% hydration which is about 18g water added. Is This correct?
    Thanks for good presentation
