How To Make Easy Rustic Seed Crackers
Step 1: Preheat the Oven + Ingredient Prep For The Mixed Seed Crackers
Preheat the oven and then prepare the baking trays.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, the seeds of choice, and salt and stir.
Next, add the water and the olive oil.
Combine this well, and then let it sit for about 8-10 minutes uncovered.
Step 2: Rolling Out The Multi Seed Crackers
Now, leave the cracker mix in the bowl, move it around with the rubber scraper, and form a ball, if you can not do this comfortably with a scraper, use your hands, but you need to make the seed crispbread batter into a ball which you will then divide in half.
Next, using one of the lined parchment baking sheets, place one portion of the dough onto a sheet.
Top that mound of dough with a second sheet of parchment paper and using your hands or a rolling pin or both, create a rectangular sheet of dough, into a thinner cracker (as thin as you prefer).
Your goal is to make that seed crispbread about the size of the pan and you’ll find the dough is easy to work with, reshape, and cut pieces off that do not need to be there.
Once formed, lightly brush the rectangular-shaped pumpkin and sunflower seed crackers with olive oil, salt, or garlic salt and place them in the oven.
Repeat this for the second portion of mixed seed crackers.
Step 3: Baking and Cracking Your Grain-Free Cracker
You’ll bake the crackers with seeds until they are golden brown for about 40 minutes.
Allow the crackers to cool, and do note that you may have to place them back in the oven to get crisper (depending on the seeds used, the thickness of your mixed seed crackers, flour type, etc)
Once cooled and crisp, simply break it into the sized pieces you prefer.
Enjoy!
