Packed with the goodness of rye flour, these crackers are high in fiber, which supports healthy digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer. Best of all, these crackers require just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in no time, making them perfect for everything from quick snacks to tasty appetizers.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup rye flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for brushing)
1/2 cup milk
Everything bagel seeds or sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, rye flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the olive oil and mix with a stand mixer or hand mixer, until the dough is crumbly. Then add the milk and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. If it is still crumbly, knead the dough to get it to stick to itself.
divide the ball of dough into three equal sections.
On a piece of parchment paper, flatten the first section into a disk shape. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top, and using a rolling pin, flatten the dough as thin as you can. Try to get it to 1/16th of an inch if possible.
Remove the top parchment paper and brush with a thin layer of olive oil. If desired, sprinkle the seeds on top now.
cut the dough into whatever shape you’d like the crackers to be. You can use a pizza cutter or a bench scraper here.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the crackers on it to your baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 6-7 minutes, until the crackers have started browning on the edges.
Repeat with the other 2 sections of dough.
Enjoy!
