Time 1h40m

Yield Makes about 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons sugar

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for topping

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, sesame seeds, sugar, and coarse salt. Work butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in cream with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.

Yield Makes about 48 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fennel, sesame, and/or caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse flour and 1 tsp. salt in a food processor to combine. Stir oil, honey, and 2/3 cup water in a liquid measuring cup. With motor running, add oil mixture to dry ingredients and continue to pulse until a ball of dough forms around blade.
  • Turn dough out onto a work surface. Divide in half. Cover one half with a moistened towel, then roll remaining half into a rough 15x10" rectangle. Repeat with second half. Transfer each to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp paring knife, trim ragged edges. Cut each rectangle into 24 (6x4") pieces.
  • Fill a spray bottle with water and mist top of dough (or use a pastry brush to brush water on dough). Sprinkle with seeds and more salt. With your hands, press down lightly on dough to adhere seeds.
  • Bake crackers, rotating sheets halfway through and checking for doneness frequently toward end of baking time (they can quickly brown), until slightly brown and crunchy, 15-18 minutes. Let cool (they'll crisp up) before serving.

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS



Whole Wheat Crackers image

When I make up a recipe of this, it's gone within an hour at our house. So yummy! And mostly healthy, too! I always make 2 recipes, in the hopes that there will be some leftovers the next day to put in the kids lunchboxes (in place of the usual sandwich). I usually make these to accompany soup, but sometimes I just make them for a snack.

Time 35m

Yield 64 crackers, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup water
sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Put the flour, oat bran and salt in a bowl. Mix.
  • 3. Pour in the olive oil and water.
  • 4. Mix until just blended.
  • 5. Divide dough into two pieces for thinner crackers or leave it in one piece for thicker crackers. We like the thin ones.
  • 6. Roll the dough directly onto a cookie sheet. I use the Pampered Chef pizza roller and it works great to just roll the dough right into the sheet. But if you don't have one of those you can put the dough between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and roll out as thin as possible. Then transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 7. Mark squares out with a knife to score your crackers. If you don't do this step before you bake it, you will not get nice squares once it's baked. The crackers bake up pretty crisp and will just break into odd shapes and crumbs. There have been times I've forgotten to score it and it's still perfectly edible, it just looks more like almond bark jagged shapes than square or rectangle shaped crackers.
  • 8. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times.
  • 9. Sprinkle with salt.
  • 10. Bake for 15 - 25 minutes in the oven, or until your crackers are crisp and light brown. Baking time might be different depending on how thin your crackers are.
  • 11. When cool remove from baking sheet, and separate into individual crackers.

HOMEMADE WHOLE GRAIN CRACKERS



Homemade Whole Grain Crackers image

There are plenty of whole-grain crackers on store shelves, but none taste as good to me as those made at home. You can use a mix of grains and flours to make them, including gluten-free varieties like millet, buckwheat and rice flours, and top them with any number of seeds, herbs or spices. They're quick to mix together and very easy to roll out. "Healthy" crackers can be hard and dry, but this week's offerings are not. I use olive oil in all of them, and some work best with a small amount of butter. I've been making sesame crackers for decades, tweaking my recipe over the years. They have a wholesome, rich, nutty flavor.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield About four dozen crackers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil
4 to 5 tablespoons water, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix together the flour, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. If using a mixing bowl, add the oil and cut in with a fork. If using a stand mixer, mix at medium speed. In a food processor, pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water, and mix with your hands, or at medium speed in a mixer or in the food processor, until you can gather the dough into a ball.
  • Lightly dust your work surface and roll out the dough, or roll out between pieces of parchment, plastic or wax paper. Cut into desired shapes -- squares, diamonds or cookie-cutter shapes -- and place on the baking sheet, close together but not touching.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned, switching the sheet trays front to back and top to middle halfway through. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool on racks.
