Knäckebröd (Swedish Crispbread)

• 1 cup milk, heated to 115°
• 1 1⁄2 tsp. honey
• 1 (¼-oz.) package active dry yeast
• 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat graham flour
• 2⁄3 cup rye flour
• 1⁄4 cup spelt flour
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1⁄2 tsp. lightly crushed fennel seeds
• 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. flaked sea salt

Instructions

Stir together milk, honey, syrup, and yeast in a large bowl; let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the four flours, fennel seeds, and kosher salt, and stir until dough forms; cover with plastic wrap and let sit until slightly puffed; about 1 hour.

Heat oven to 450°. Working on a floured work surface, divide dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, use a rolling pin to roll dough into a 9″ circle, about 1⁄8″ thick. Transfer circle to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and using a 1 ½″ round cutter, cut out a hole in the center of the circle. Prick the dough all over with a fork, and brush circle lightly with water; sprinkle with ¼ tsp. flaked sea salt. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, flip bread and continue baking until underside is browned; about 4 more minutes. Repeat with remaining dough pieces and sea salt.
