Seeded Crackers
I found this recipe in Americas’s Test Kitchen Paleo cookbook… It is easy and can be altered to your own tastes. e.g. combination of seeds/salt. It gives you a crunchy cracker to use with smoked salmon, cheeses, etc., even jam! Keeps well in an air tight can for ~week.
1 ½ cup | almond flour |
¼ cup | coconut flour |
¼ cup | arrowroot flour |
1 T | sesame seeds (toasted)* |
1 T | fennel seeds (toasted)* |
1 T | poppy seeds |
¼ t | onion powder (I crushed onion flakes) |
5 T | extra-virgin olive oil |
3 | large egg whites (1set aside, lightly beaten)** |
2 T | water |
*Didn’t have fennel seeds… I substituted caraway seeds… *Nor did I toast beforehand.
**Am looking for use of egg yolks, don’t like wasting them. Realized later one can buy egg All Whites at the market.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk dry ingredients (flours & seeds) in large bowl.
Whisk oil, 2 egg whites & water together thoroughly in separate bowl.
Stir egg mixture into flour mixture w/rubber spatula until dough comes together.
Divide dough in half. Working w/1 piece of dough at a time, roll dough out between 2 pieces of parchment into 1⁄16 inch thick rectangle or round(~12x10 inches). Remove top piece of parchment & poke dough at 2 inch intervals using fork. (Note: I forgot to do this!)
Slide rolled-out dough, still on parchment, onto separate baking sheets.
Combine 1⁄2 t salt, 1t fennel & 1t poppy seeds in bowl. (I found to mix seeds and once topped to sprinkle salt from shaker otherwise th
Brush dough lightly w/beaten egg white and sprinkle evenly w/seed mixture.
Bake crackers until golden brown and edges are firm, ~15 – 20 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking.
Slide crackers, still on parchment, onto wire racks and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Break cooled crackers into large pieces.
(Crackers can be stored at room temperature in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
Enjoy!
