Ingredients

150g rye flour
150g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp sea salt
4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to brush
3 tbsp mixed seeds (such as coriander, fennel and sesame)

You’ll also need…

2 baking sheets lined with non-stick baking paper

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Mix the flours and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 145ml cold water and the
4 tbsp olive oil. Use your hands to bring it together and form a dough, adding a little more water if needed.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Cut into
10 pieces, then roll out each as thinly as possible into any shape you like.
Transfer the crackers to the lined baking sheets, brush with a little
extra oil and sprinkle with mixed seeds and a grinding of black pepper.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked to your liking (you’ll
need to do this in batches). Transfer to a wire rack to cool and continue with the remaining dough.
Break up the crackers to serve or put in food bags and keep in a cool place (see Make Ahead).
