OUR KNÄCKEBRÖD BAKERY
KNÄCKEBRÖD - A STAPLE FOR EVERY DAY AND FOR CELEBRATIONS
Knäckebröd has gone from once being regarded as a poor man’s product to being served for both everyday and festive occasions. Today, our knäckebröd is served everywhere from castles to log cabins, and we are now proud to be Royal Warrant holders of the Swedish Court as purveyors of hand-baked knäckebröd.
Our knäckebröd
Our knäckebröd is currently available in three varieties: Original, Extra Crispy and Sourdough and Barley.
In fact, the knäckebröd in the yellow and the blue packaging is essentially the same variety. It’s the fire, the bakers and a number of other factors that affect the end result, determining whether the product is lighter or darker in colour. This is just the way it is with an artisan product. Some prefer the slightly milder tones and crispiness of the lighter variety. Others prefer a darker bake that is slightly more brittle and has a more distinct flavour from the toasted notes. The rounds are sorted, with the lighter rounds being packed into our yellow packs as the Original. The darker rounds are packed into our blue packs as Extra Crispy.
We can assure you that it’s love at first taste with our knäckebröd!
Ingredients
We use Swedish raw materials in our products, which all have few ingredients. The whole grain rye and other cereals come from Lantmännen and the yeast is from Jästbolaget. Both are Swedish companies with long traditions within their respective areas of the food production industry. Our salt is supplied by Jästbolaget and is produced in Denmark. Naturally, the companies we work with are food safety certified.
Fresh Dala water from a glacial stream just a few kilometres from the bakery is also added. Each year, it undergoes several tests to ensure that it meets the standards of the food industry.
For us, it is essential that the flour is milled in such a way that it is compatible with our production methods. Our kneading and forming machine, the one that makes rounds out of the dough, is a really demanding contraption. We’ve tried several different kinds of flour from various producers and mills, which have not worked. This has led to long interruptions and stoppages in production, resulting in poorer quality knäckebröd.
Our ultimate goal is to be able to bake with rye that is both grown and milled in the local area. We’re not there yet, but we’re definitely working towards that goal!
Skedvi Bröd originalet
Our rye knäckebröd is baked according to a recipe that has stood the test of time using just four simple ingredients: rye flour, water, yeast and salt. The result is a thin, light and crispy knäckebröd, with a rare, rounded flavour and delicate toasted notes.

Skedvi Bröd EXTRAGRÄDDAT
The rounds that have seen a little more heat in the ovens have a darker bake. Here, the toasted flavours are even more pronounced and often the knäckebröd is more brittle. In other words, a little more flavour, loved by so many. They are sorted separately and become our “Extra Crispy” knäckebröd. Basically, it is the same dough and baking method as the Original.

SKEDVI BRÖD SURDEG OCH KORN
Our Sourdough and Barley knäckebröd is a more brittle version with a characteristically sour and delicious culinary flavour. The half-moon shaped packaging is much-loved and has become a knäckebröd favourite alongside Original and Extra Crispy.

SKEDVI BRÖD QVARTINGEN
Our rye flour knäckebröd is now available in a handy little carton, perfect in gift boxes, for the smaller household or as a sample pack. We call it Skedvi Bröd QVARTINGEN because it contains 7 quarters (170g) of our rye flour knäckebröd. The packs are sold in selected delicatessens and in our food hall here at Skedvi Bröd.
BROKEN BREAD
The rounds that don’t meet the requirements for packaging are broken into pieces and sold in boxes as Broken Bread. It may be that some of the pieces are broken, over-baked or double-folded. These pieces are removed and placed in the “spirit bread” box. The remainder is broken into smaller pieces and sold in boxes as Broken Bread.
We believe it’s important to waste as little as possible!

SKEDVI BRÖD AQUAVIT
THE START OF A NEW TRADITION!
A full-flavour aquavit, distilled by Tevsjö Distillery in Hälsingland and created using handmade knäckebröd from Dalarna.
The leftover knäckebröd from the bakery has been collected and carefully transformed into this aquavit. All so that not a single crumb of knäckebröd goes to waste.
