Slo-o-ow baking

We like occasional snacks, and to keep the waistlines in check we munch low-fat stuff like celery sticks, carrot sticks, and whole-grain cracker breads (with an occasional chunk of cheese for flavor and fat—go figure). Yesterday in the Big City we picked up some more Knäckebröd (Crisp Bread), “Original Swedish recipe” that’s made, oddly, in Finland. And for good measure we got some Wasa crisp bread made in Sweden. On its logo, it says Baked Since 1919. Wow. That’s a lo-o-ong time in the oven!

And just think, if you were to purchase the big round package of knäckebröd instead of that rectangular pack you would not even need a bread box, just stick the cakes on the broom handle for storing!

So that’s what the big hole in the center is for!
