NORWEGIAN CULTURE

Enjoy this flavorful and easy to prepare treat. Recipe submitted by Christopher Mohs, Vikingland Lodge 1-495, Detroit Lakes, MN    

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup flax seeds
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
2/3 cup hazelnuts (ground)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Then add water, 1/3 cup at a time, and mix in until you get a consistency of moist gravel (it should clump together when pressed into a ball, but not be too soggy). You may not use all of the water.

Next, on a parchment lined baking sheet or tray (about 9 x 13 in size) dump out the mixture and press into one even layer with a spatula. Using a pizza cutter, score your Knekkebrød into rectangular pieces and bake for 60 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool down slightly. Break apart bread into your pre-scored rectangles and enjoy with your favorite jam.
