SWEDISH CRISPBREAD (RYE SEED CRACKERS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Measure two pieces of parchment, or get a silicone mat and a similar-sized piece of parchment ready to fit a baking sheet/tray around 10x15in (25x38cm).
• Place the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and mix them together. Add the oats and seeds (pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds) and mix so evenly distributed.
• Add the oil and water and combine until smooth. Take care not to overmix, you want it just combined. It should feel slightly stiff but still spreadable (add slightly more water if too stiff).
• Turn the mixture out onto the silicone mat or one piece of parchment and press the dough out to flatten a little. Top with the other piece of parchment and then roll out with a rolling pin to be around the same size as the piece of parchment. If it spreads beyond the area, you can trim a bit off and stick it to an area that has not spread as much. Then re-cover and roll over gently to help it join.
• Remove the top layer of parchment and carefully transfer the silicone mat/parchment to the baking sheet/tray. Score the top of the dough to make squares or rectangles of the size you want the crackers to be - I got around 24.
• Place the baking sheet/tray in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes until the top if dry and firm and the edges are just starting to become darker.
• Leave the crackers to cool a minute or two then cut along the score lines to break into crackers.

THE BEST SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then add water and stir well.
• Set aside and allow to thicken for about 20 minutes. The mixture will thicken and become gooey/gel-like in consistency. This is your cracker 'dough.'
• Transfer the mixture over to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread into a thin layer. You might need to use two baking trays. I don't measure mine, but I like my crackers to be around 4-5mm in thickness.
• Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 150ºC/300ºF. You can adjust the baking time (+/- 10 minutes) depending on how browned/golden and crispy you prefer your seeds to be. Keep an eye, though - because of how thin the crackers are, they can burn quickly.
• To get evenly cut flax seed crackers, you can cut them halfway through baking. Otherwise, they might be too hard to cut/break evenly. You can use a pizza cutter to do this really quickly, or a knife.
• However, you can also just break them apart after baking, into 'uneven' pieces, for a rustic look.
• Remove the crackers from the oven and leave to cool completely before transferring to a container/ eating.
• How To Store:These keto crackers will store in an airtight container for up to three weeks at room temperature. They may last longer, but I've never had any left past that point.Depending on what additions you add to the crackers (such as cheese), then this may vary. But the plain seed crackers themselves don't have anything that 'spoils,' so they should be okay for weeks.

HEALTHY SEED AND OAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, poppy seeds and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl and stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Add the olive oil, maple syrup and hot water and stir to incorporate. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
• Stir the mixture to ensure any residual liquid on the bottom is evenly dispersed and then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Place a second piece of parchment on top and then use the palms of your hands to press and spread the mixture into an even layer (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), making sure to spread all the way to edges of the pan (gently running a small offset spatula over the parchment also helps to spread the mixture evenly). Remove the top piece of parchment and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Bake until the edges are slightly golden brown and beginning to pull away from the sides of the baking sheet, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into 24 pieces (each 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife (see Cook's Note). Return the crackers to the oven and continue to bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. Store the crackers for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

NY STYLE RYE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seed, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir in the canola oil and honey. While stirring with a fork, slowly add the water until the dough comes together in a ball. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Divide the dough into 4 sections, rolling each piece out on parchment paper to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shape then place on a baking sheet. Prick each cracker a few times with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are brown and the crackers are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove immediately to a cooling rack.
