Crispbread or knackebrod is a staple food in Scandinavia and eaten alongside most meals. Swedes see it as a type of bread and serve it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and as a snack in between meals. There are many different variations of crisp bread. Plain rye cracker is the most traditional one but different variants of seeds, herbs and spices are now very common as well.
Growing up in Sweden I have eaten and baked many different flavors of knackebrod. This seed crispbread is my favorite kind and because the recipe is so simple to make, I make them regularly and often have them on hand for an easy healthy snack. They are crunchy and slightly salty with a nice mix of flavors from the seeds.

I also love eating them plain as a simple nutritious snack.
