Gluten-free Norwegian Crisp Bread

Hello everyone! It's almost spring break, which is crazy since it feels like winter break was just a week ago. But you know what that means--I have tests in all my classes next week. That's why this bread is perfect for the busy week ahead of me. Whenever I go to Norway, I always find myself eating a lot of gluten-free knekkebrød (crisp bread), because I don't need to find a toaster to toast it. It's a good bread to bring on hiking trips or for school lunches, and on top of that, it's very easy to make! You can top it off with your favorite sandwich items, or just eat it like a protein bar.


Ingredients
1 1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup flax seeds
1 cup chia seeds
2 cups sliced almonds
3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
2 cups sunflower seeds
5 Medjool dates
2 tablespoons honey
3 cups boiling water

Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice the Medjool dates into very small pieces. 
3. Add all your ingredients except the water into a bowl and mix them thoroughly together.
4. Add the boiling water and thoroughly mix it again.
5. Let it stand for about 10 minutes.
6. Line a couple of baking pans with parchment paper, and spread the mixture evenly over it.Spread       out the mixture as flat as possible.
7. Bake it for 10 minutes.
8. Cut the bread into squares.
9. Bake for another 30-40 minutes or until done.

Voila! You have a delicious crisp bread that you won't need to toast on all those busy mornings!

Enjoy!
