Seeded Crackers Recipes

SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hooked, whisk together water and yeast. Add remaining ingredients. Knead on medium until dough is smooth and slightly sticky, about 7 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch-thick square. Cut into 16 equal pieces, then shape each into a ball, keeping other balls covered as you work.
• Working with one piece at a time and using a small amount of flour, flatten each ball with your hands, then roll out as thinly as possible to about the thickness of the seeds (shapes will be irregular). Transfer each piece to a parchment-lined baking sheet, two to a sheet. Use a fork to prick all over.
• Bake in batches, flipping each cracker over halfway through, until golden on edges, about 20 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer crackers to wire racks and let cool completely before serving. (Crackers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.)

3-INGREDIENT SEEDED CRACKERS

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.
