Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fennel, crushed or 1 tbsp anise seed
  • 3 1/2 cups coarse rye flour
  • 1 1/2-2 cups wheat flour

Directions:

  1. Dissolve yeast in the water (if using dry yeast, follow instructions).
  2. Add salt and fennel/aniseed.
  3. Add rye and enough wheat flour to make a quite firm dough.
  4. Knead vigorously for at least five minutes.
  5. Divide into 16 parts and roll to balls.
  6. Let rise, covered, for 40 minutes.
  7. Heat the oven to maximum heat.
  8. Roll out one piece at a time to a thin circle, 8-10 inches in diameter.
  9. Use plenty of rye flour when rolling.
  10. Make a one-inch hole in the middle.
  11. Prick the surface all over with a fork (in Sweden we have special rolling pins for this purpose).
  12. Bake one at a time on a dry tray in the oven for about 2-4 minutes.
  13. They should get brown, but not too burnt.
  14. Slip them on a stick (e. g. a broom) through the hole in the middle to cool.
  15. Store in a dry place and eat with butter, cheese and/or pickled herring, maybe together with beer and aquavit.
