👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a large bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, grated cheese, caraway seeds, and salt.
2
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Flatten it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion thinly into small rounds or squares, about 10-12 cm in diameter.
7
Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a beaten egg.
8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and crisp.
9
Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
