Cracker Recipe
400g standard white flour sifted
1 ½ t sea salt
1 t caster suger
2 T poppy seeds
2 T sesame seeds
1 egg
200mls of milk
50g unsalted butter melted ( I have also used olivio)
To make combine flour, sea salt, sugar, poppy seeds and sesame
seeds in a bowl.In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and melted
butter. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the egg
mixture. Mix well to combine until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead lightly on a floured surface. Wrap in
plastic and rest in the refrigerator for
1 hour. You can freeze it also.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Roll portions of the rested dough very
thinly onto oven trays lined with baking paper, about 2mm. At this stage you
can either make really long strips, rectangle, circle which ever you like. I
used a pizza cutter and a circle cutter. I also brushed some with milk then
sprinkled more seeds and salt on top. You could use herb salt or chicken salt
too.
Bake for 5- 8 minutes or until dry, and slightly golden if
you prefer crunchier then leave them longer (the thickness will vary the cooking time if
you wish to make them thicker lower your temp a little and cook longer) Remove
from the oven and cool completely on wire racks. Store in an airtight container
until required.
This recipe makes dozens of crackers so you may wish to
freeze dough in batches.
