Warm the milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a small pot until lukewarm.
Mix the flour, rye flour, and baking powder in a large bowl.
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour and knead a smooth, firm dough.
Divide the dough into 10 balls and roll each very thin and round.
Cut leaf patterns on the rounds with a knife and lift the cuts slightly.
Heat the oil to 175°C and fry the breads for 35 seconds on each side.
Transfer the laufabraud to paper towels and stack when cool to serve.
💡 Tip: If the dough dries out, it cracks while you cut the pattern; keep rolled pieces under a clean cloth so the thin surface stays flexible.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve laufabraud like crisp bread with an optional cheese plate, jam, or hot tea.
