Crispbread with rye, spelt and seeds

The crispbread is made of rye and spelt flour, sesame, flax, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. The seeds give the crispbread a bit of a nutty taste, making it a delicious and healthy snack.

This crispbread was served at a lunch buffet at my work - I fell in love with the taste of rye and seeds immediately. The friendly and skilled chefs in the kitchen shared the crispbread recipe with me. 

Making the crisp bread is very easy - it takes only about 25 minutes to make and bake the crispbread. All of the seeds contain healthy fatty acids, and sesame seeds especially are a good source of calcium.
