Whole Wheat And Sesame Crackers Food

WHOLE-WHEAT-AND-SESAME CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, sesame seeds, sugar, and coarse salt. Work butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in cream with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 2. Put the flour, oat bran and salt in a bowl. Mix.
• 3. Pour in the olive oil and water.
• 4. Mix until just blended.
• 5. Divide dough into two pieces for thinner crackers or leave it in one piece for thicker crackers. We like the thin ones.
• 6. Roll the dough directly onto a cookie sheet. I use the Pampered Chef pizza roller and it works great to just roll the dough right into the sheet. But if you don't have one of those you can put the dough between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and roll out as thin as possible. Then transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet.
• 7. Mark squares out with a knife to score your crackers. If you don't do this step before you bake it, you will not get nice squares once it's baked. The crackers bake up pretty crisp and will just break into odd shapes and crumbs. There have been times I've forgotten to score it and it's still perfectly edible, it just looks more like almond bark jagged shapes than square or rectangle shaped crackers.
• 8. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times.
• 9. Sprinkle with salt.
• 10. Bake for 15 - 25 minutes in the oven, or until your crackers are crisp and light brown. Baking time might be different depending on how thin your crackers are.
• 11. When cool remove from baking sheet, and separate into individual crackers.

3-INGREDIENT SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse flour and 1 tsp. salt in a food processor to combine. Stir oil, honey, and 2/3 cup water in a liquid measuring cup. With motor running, add oil mixture to dry ingredients and continue to pulse until a ball of dough forms around blade.
• Turn dough out onto a work surface. Divide in half. Cover one half with a moistened towel, then roll remaining half into a rough 15x10" rectangle. Repeat with second half. Transfer each to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp paring knife, trim ragged edges. Cut each rectangle into 24 (6x4") pieces.
• Fill a spray bottle with water and mist top of dough (or use a pastry brush to brush water on dough). Sprinkle with seeds and more salt. With your hands, press down lightly on dough to adhere seeds.
• Bake crackers, rotating sheets halfway through and checking for doneness frequently toward end of baking time (they can quickly brown), until slightly brown and crunchy, 15-18 minutes. Let cool (they'll crisp up) before serving.

WHOLE WHEAT SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, seeds, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in oil and 6 to 8 tablespoons water and knead until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into quarters and pat each one into a rectangle. Roll into a 10-by-4 1/2-inch rectangle 1/8-inch thick.
• In a small bowl, mix honey with 3 teaspoon water and brush over crackers. Prick crackers several times with a fork and sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake, rotating once, until crackers are golden brown and crisp, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely.

SESAME WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Grease 2 baking sheets or cover with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.
• Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Add the egg and 2 tablespoons of the milk.
• Mix to make a stiff dough, adding the remaining milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
• Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, and place on a lightly floured surface and roll the dough out to 1/8inch thickness.
• Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough; place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Re-roll the trimmings and cut out more circles.
• Continue until the dough is used up.
• Brush the crackers with the beaten egg white, then sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown.
• Remove to a wire rack to cool.
• Makes about 72 crackers.
