Brief description

Authentic homemade crackers with a rich nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Perfect as a stand-alone snack or paired with cheeses and dips.

Ingredients (for 30-35 pieces)

• 200 g whole grain flour

• 100 g premium wheat flour

• 1 tsp sea salt (+ a little for sprinkling)

• ½ tsp soda

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 120 ml water (you may need a little more or less)

• 1 tbsp flax seeds or sunflower seeds (optional for crunch)

Step by step instructions

1. Preparing the dough.

   • In a large bowl, combine both flours, salt and baking soda.

   • Add olive oil and gradually pour in water, kneading the dough until smooth.

   • If using seeds, stir them into the dough.

2. Rolling out.

   • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to make it more pliable.

   • Roll out the dough as thin as possible (2–3 mm) on a lightly floured surface.

3. Forming and sprinkling.

   • Using a knife or cookie cutters, cut the dough into squares or rectangles.

   • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   • Sprinkle each cracker lightly with coarse sea salt.

4. Bakery.

   • Preheat oven to 180°C (convention +20°C).

   • Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

   • Let cool completely on a wire rack – the crackers will become even crispier.

Tips and variations

• Flavor: Add dried herbs (rosemary, thyme), grated Parmesan or garlic powder to the dough.

• Variety of cereals: replace some of the flour with rye or oat flour - it will give you a richer taste.

• Storage: Crackers will stay crispy in an airtight container for up to a week.
