Swedish Knäckebröd

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

Awesome Swedish flatbread. Goes well with soups and cheeses. Comes out similar to Rye Crisp. You can try this with wheat flour instead of rye. I would not recommend plain white flour but any 'grain' flour tried might be interesting. World Tour 2005

Absolutely wonderful bread (I keep callin' 'em crackers, though), & easy enough to make, I thought! Used the rye flour, which I really liked, & then thinned out some lingonberry preserves to use as a dip for some of them! Great, great snack! Thanks for the recipe!

Mmmm...this was very tasty. I baked mine about 20 minutes, and they still did not come our very crispy...but they were still very good tasting. I knew as I was rolling the dough that I wasn't going thin enough, but I was in a hurry....and you know what they say about haste. I've been munching on these all afternoon. I like the buttery flavor with the rye.
