Gluten-free Seeded Crispbread

15th June 2020 by Louise


Gluten-Free Seeded Crispbreads: A Healthy and Moreish Snack 


When it comes to snacking, finding something that’s both delicious and nutritious can be a challenge, especially if you’re avoiding gluten. Gluten-free seeded crispbreads—the perfect balance of health and flavour. Made with a blend of mixed seeds, cornflour, olive oil, and sea salt, these crunchy crackers are not only incredibly satisfying but also packed with natural goodness. 


Packed with nutrition 


Each crispbread is a powerhouse of goodness, thanks to the variety of seeds used. Sunflower, sesame, flax, and pumpkin seeds are just a few examples of what might go into the mix, providing a fantastic array of nutrients. These seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, helping to keep you energised and satiated throughout the day. They’re also a brilliant source of essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, making them a great addition to any balanced diet. 


Moreish and versatile 


One of the best things about these crispbreads is their versatility. They work beautifully as a base for canapés, a crunchy accompaniment to soups and salads, or even as a healthier alternative to crisps. Or equally satisfying straight out of the tin.

Cook Time1 hour hr 15 minutes mins
Course: Snack
Cuisine: Scandinavian, Swedish
Servings: 25 crispbreads

Equipment

  • 1 Baking tray measuring 30 x 40 cm

Ingredients

  • 170 g Mixed seeds ie. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, buckwheat & linseed
  • 100 g cornflour cornstarch
  • 45 g olive oil
  • 250 g freshly boiled water I weigh the water
  • 6 g sea salt fine
  • sea salt flakes to scatter on the top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 160℃ (fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mine measures 40 x 30 cm.
  • Place all but 20g of the seeds in a bowl with the cornflour, add the oil and fine sea salt. Stir to blend the ingredients. Add the freshly boiled water and give it a good stir.
  • Pour the mixture immediately onto the tray and spread evenly with an off set spatular, making sure there are no gaps. Sprinkle the remaining seeds on the top, and then add a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt flakes. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the tray from the oven to cut into squares or rectangles. Now return the tray to the oven to crisp up. Continue to bake for one hour, then turn the oven off.
  • Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

To ensure the crispbread is completely crisp, once they’re done, turn the oven off and leave the door open for 5 minutes to cool down quickly. Then shut it and leave the crispbread there for several hours.

    I’m in the USA what is Swedish cornflour? We have yellow ‘Corn flour’ and white powdery ‘corn starch’ . They are completely different ingredients.

    I’m also in the U.s. I made a mistake and used what we call corn flour (maize flour) from heritage corn. Used 2 x the amount in the recipe and.a little more honey and a little more salt. Everyone! love them. Happy error.

Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making th Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making the most of the wild mushrooms while they’re still around.

1. Buttery sautéed chanterelles with poached egg and sourdough crumbs
2. A blackberry and bay celebration cake — I adore these autumn flavours
3. Incredible seasonal colours
4. A coconut and raspberry cake
5. And a warming wild mushroom soup

I finished the week on such a happy note — a lovely Friday morning teaching how to make sourdough. 

How did your week go?

Pretty swirled buns every time.

Back from nine unforgettable days in glorious Meno Back from nine unforgettable days in glorious Menorca where my son and daughter-in-law had their wedding celebration. 
Sunshine, wonderful food (the most delicious amberjack carpaccio on stories), breathtaking sunrises and sunsets… and so many precious memories made. And no, I didn’t make the wedding cake, beautiful as it was.

Now back to reality — autumn has definitely arrived and there’s lots to plan. The colours are changing, the air is fresh, and it’s my favourite time of year: cosy layers and crisp walks. It’s always lovely being away, but there’s nothing quite like coming home.
