3 Seed Crackers recipe makes the perfect crispy and crunchy homemade cracker. They’re a must-have on any charcuterie board or when you want to add something special to entertaining.
It’s that time of month when I get to participate in the monthly challenge from my bread baking group, Twelve Loaves. This month the challenge is another side of breads…a less leavened side: we had the challenge to bake Crackers, Crisps and Flatbreads. Our very talented host is Camilla from Culinary Aventures with Camilla.
This was a very interested challenge for me. I’ve been wanting to try making crackers for quite some time. I had so much fun, but let’s just say….Keebler doesn’t have a thing to worry about. It is experience that makes us better at what we do right? These crackers tasted delicious. I got three pans (not completely full). Each one was a bit better than the last.
Three Seed Crackers #Twelveloaves
Author: Hostess At Heart
An easy and delicious cracker that is perfect as a snack or an appetizer on a meat or cheese tray.
1-1/2cupsunbleached all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
1/2cupwhole wheat flour
1tspsalt
3tbspextra-virgin olive oil
1/2cupwater
Instructions
Place the oven rack on the bottom third of the oven. Preheat oven to 450 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the topping ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the APF, whole wheat flour and salt together. Add olive oil and water to the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until a soft crumbly ball forms. Press against the side of the bowl with the spatula or your hand to pick up stray flour.
On a lightly floured work surface, cup three equal portions. Pat each portion into a square. Set 2 aside and cover with clean towel. Roll the remaining dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick, 7-8 inches wide and 14-15 inches long. Don’t let the dough stick to the working surface.
Brush the dough lightly with water and sprinkle with seed mixture and lightly press onto the dough.
Cut dough in half lengthwise, and then cut across to make rectangles roughly 2×4 inches. Don’t bother trimming the edges. These are rustic right? Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Repeat for the remaining two portions.
Store cooled crackers in a zip-top bag for up to a week.
