Buckwheat crispbread with seeds and herbs
This a basic buckwheat crispbread recipe that I slightly tweaked for St. Valentine’s by adding some beetroot juice for a pinkish tint.
I head some fresh sage at home, so I plucked some leaves and tossed them in a pan with some olive oil. I flavoured the bread with the sage, a pinch of rosemary and fennel. I used sunflower seeds and sesame, but imagination is the limit.
I like to bake the crispbread starting at a lower heat, around 150 C (300 F), leave it in for about 15-20 minutes, take the tray out, trace squares with a knife and dock it with a fork. Then I put the tray back to the oven and turn the temperature up to 180 C (350 F) and closely monitor the bread so it will not burn.
If necessary, I lower the heat again to allow the crispbread safely turn crip.
