Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rye flour
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 120 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Mix in the black sesame seeds and caraway seeds to evenly distribute the flavors.
Drizzle the olive oil into the dry ingredients and mix with your hands or a spoon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a little at a time, mixing until a firm dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out as thinly as possible using a rolling pin (about 2mm thickness).
Cut the dough into desired shapes, such as squares, rectangles, or triangles, using a knife or pastry cutter.
Transfer the cut cracker dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving minimal gaps between them as they won’t spread.
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes evenly over the crackers for a touch of crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
