1

Mix 100g of rye sourdough starter, 200g of water, 250g of rye flour, 175g of wheat flour type 550, 0.5 tbsp of honey, and 1 tsp of salt together with a spatula until all ingredients have combined.

2

Knead the dough with your hands until smooth.

3

Cover the dough with plastic foil and let it rest at room temperature overnight until it doubles in size.

4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into 4 equal parts.

5

Take one part and knead it to release the air; if it's too sticky, dust a bit more flour on your hands.

6

Roll the dough into a round ball and press it flat gently.

7

Transfer the flattened dough onto a piece of baking paper and roll it into a rectangular shape.

8

Brush or spray a bit of water on the surface of the dough.

9

Sprinkle spices of your choice, such as cumin seeds and sesame seeds, on top.

10

Poke the dough with a fork roughly.

11

Cut the dough into smaller sizes with a knife or pizza cutter, into shapes like triangles or circles.

12

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

13

Bake the crispbread for at least 10 minutes until crispy and brown.

14

If some parts of the bread are getting burned, remove them and continue baking the rest.
