Step 1
Heat oven to 425°F. Mix rye flour, wheat flour, caraway seeds, half the sunflower seeds, and salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Pour water into the bowl and stir until a thick, sticky batter forms (no kneading needed).
Step 3
Scrape batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shape into a rough 8-inch round with wet hands.
Step 4
Sprinkle remaining sunflower seeds over the top, pressing gently so they stick.
Step 5
Bake 20–22 minutes until the crust is dark brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Cool on a wire rack 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
