When Italian and Swedish kitchens collide

Pizza is a staple of the Italian kitchen that has moved across the world as a comfort food. Likewise, Knäckebröd, a staple of the Swedish kitchen has been the base for lunch and breakfast. Somehow it took up to 2013 for someone to decide to merge the two.

Leksands Knäckebröd AB (link) is the worlds center of knackebrod, selling various types and flavors. With their love of all things knackebrod, they created the interesting hybrid and started selling it fresh in a small stand outside of the shop.

People describe the hybrid food as a lighter version of pizza, crunchier but very tasty. You can use various knacke-bases, including gluten free ones.

The original food cart selling the creation, is one of the few places where one can get these pizzas fresh. But for those who do not want to travel to Leksand, you can find a frozen version in most Swedish supermarkets.

Know Before You Go

The stand has the same opening hours as Leksands Knäckebröd AB, but closes 30 minutes early.
