Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Rye flour
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 80 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seeds, salt, and baking powder.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the water, stirring with a fork or your hands, until the dough comes together. The dough should be firm but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 1-2 minutes, until smooth.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion as thinly as possible (about 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm) using a rolling pin.
Cut the rolled-out dough into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, or triangles) using a knife or pastry cutter. Transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each cracker.
Optional: Lightly brush the crackers with a small amount of water and sprinkle sea salt on top for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
