Preparation

Step 1

Mix all ingredients until a thick paste-like dough is formed. Spread onto 2 prepared baking sheets, making sure the mixture is evenly spread to the edges.
Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into equal serving size rectangles and put in a 335 degree oven, one sheet on the top rack and one on the bottom.
Bake for 35 minutes, at which point you take out the sheets and swap their positions, putting the tray that was on the bottom rack up in the top of the oven and vice versa.
Bake for additional 35 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Use your hands to break the knekkebrød at the seams.
Once cooled completely, keep in airtight container to maintain crispness.

* if you feel your knekkebrød is too soft when you take it out, you can put it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes until it is crispy. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn!
