Crispy Rye Crackers

Light and crispy rye flour crackers flavoured with garlic and oregano!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 6 to 8 crackers

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rye flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/6 cup olive oil
  • 3 to 4 tbsps water
  • Sesame seeds to sprinkle on top optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flours and seasonings. Mix well.<br></br>
  • Add the honey, oil and water and mix with a silicone spatula to bring the dough together, using your hands if necessary. The dough will feel a little dry and firm, but if it's too dry and crumbly, drizzle in a wee bit more water and oil. Make sure it doesn't become sticky.<br></br>
  • Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.<br></br>
  • Preheat the oven to 190 C and line a baking tray with a silicone mat.<br></br>
  • Place a large piece of baking paper or parchment on the kitchen counter and place the dough in the center. Pat it down into a disc, then cover with another large piece of paper.<br></br>
  • Roll the dough out slowly, as thin as you can without tearing it. The dough may crack a little, that's ok, simply lift up the paper and press the cracks together with your fingers. Since it's a fairly stiff dough, you'll need a little longer to roll it out. <br></br>
  • Cut out shapes as desired and place on the tray. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness and size of the crackers. Rotate the tray as well as the crackers, halfway through baking so that they brown evenly. The crackers are done when the edges are browned and the tops appear slightly puffy.<br></br>
  • Leave to cool on a wire rack, then dig in!
