Mushroom Crispbread

2h 20m

A crispbread with a fall forest taste!

This is a traditional bread that has been baked in every household in Scandinavia. Everyone has their own recipe, and this is chef Lena's interpretation. She likes to use this bread with cheeses, charcuterie, or a nice spread like, such as a mushroom pesto.

Other flavorings can be used, such as fennel or anise. The Mushroom Flour can also be replaced with flax seeds.

  • Add cup of dried mushrooms to a blender, and blend on high speed to obtain a fine powder

    Step 0

    Step 8
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it to form a taut ball

    Step 9

    Step 10
  • Cut the dough into 10-12 smaller pieces

    Step 11

    Step 12
  • Gently flatten each dough ball over a floured surface

    Step 13
  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C

    Step 14

    Step 15
