I had my 5 year anniversary at work the other day and thought it should be celebrated. In addition, my recipe for studenterbrød needed an update and this was the result.

Collect the dough with the egg.
Roll out the dough between two pieces of baking paper and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2-3 mm.
Cut out a circle of 20 cm in diameter and prick the bottom with a fork.
