CARAWAY RYE CRACKERS
If I can find the time, I would much rather make crackers than buy them. These are really good. I found this recipe via an internet search. It calls for 4 - 5 tablespoons water, but I usually end up using more to make a workable dough.

RYE CARAWAY BREADSTICKS
Rye and caraway have always been a match made in heaven, but until now I never thought of using them in something other than Jewish rye bread and rye crisps.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir in the honey, agave nectar, malt extract or rice syrup. Let stand for five minutes. Stir in the olive oil.
- Combine the rye flour, whole-wheat flour, 1 cup of the unbleached all-purpose flour, caraway seeds and the salt. Add to the liquid mixture. If kneading by hand, stir until you can turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and worktable. If using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour as necessary so that the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be elastic and just slightly sticky.
- Lightly flour your work surface or brush with olive oil. Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 14-by-4-inch rectangle. Make sure there is enough flour or oil underneath the dough so that it doesn't stick to the work surface. Brush the top with oil. Cover with plastic wrap, then with a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until nearly doubled. (If you need the workspace, lightly oil the underside of a sheet pan and place the dough on top.)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper thirds of the interior space. Brush sheet pans with olive oil. Cut the dough crosswise into four equal pieces. Cut each piece crosswise into six equal pieces. Roll each between the board and your hands as you were making a rope until it is as long as the baking sheet. For a tighter strip, twist the strands from one end to the other. Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets until you've filled two baking sheets. Continue to shape the remaining breadsticks while the first batch is baking.
- Place in the oven, and bake 15 minutes. Switch the pans top to bottom and front to back, and bake another 10 minutes until the breadsticks are nicely browned. (They will be darker on the bottom; if you want them more evenly browned, flip the breadsticks over halfway through.) Remove from the heat, and cool on a rack. Shape and bake any remaining dough as instructed.

- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will also help the crackers to hold their shape better in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the crackers: A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts and will help to prevent the crackers from crumbling.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The crackers should be golden brown and crispy when they are done baking.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container: The crackers will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
