These seed-encrusted, homemade rye crackers are easy to prepare, and are delicious spread with homemade houmous or cream cheese – or, if you want to really impress people, with this homemade smoked salmon, cream cheese and dill pâté.
Ingredients
- 250g rye flour, sifted
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 medium free-range egg
- 125ml water
- 2 tbsp each caraway and sesame seeds
- Dash of vegetable oil
You’ll also need
- 2 baking sheets lined with compostable baking paper
Method
- Heat the oven to 140°C/120°C fan/gas 1 and line the baking sheets. Mix the rye flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Beat together the egg and water, then add to the dry mixture and combine.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, then roll it out as thinly as you can (aim for 2mm). Scatter over the caraway and sesame seeds, then roll again. Cut the dough into large shards, then use a metal spatula to carefully lift the shards onto the baking sheets. Roll again briefly to flatten and brush with a little oil.
- Bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
