Best Chive Blossom Crackers Whole Wheat Recipes

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.

CHIVE BLOSSOM CRACKERS (WHOLE WHEAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Make the cracker dough, starting with the dry ingredients. I use my stand mixer, but you can do it by hand. Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix thoroughly to distribute.
• Now the wet ingredients for the basic dough: add the cubed butter and mix until crumbly. Then add the water and mix thoroughly. You want the texture to be like very wet sand: it should hold it's shape when pressed together firmly, but you do NOT want a sticky dough. Add water in additional tablespoons (you may need up to an additional 1/2 cup depending on your climate) until you reach this texture.
• The basic dough is ready and you can add your seasonings. So add the chives, sesame seeds, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper, and give everything a good final mix.
• Make the crackers in batches. For each batch, roll out as thinly as you can (1/8 to 1/16 inch) a large handful of the dough, cut apart into your desired shapes (I made small rectangles), and transfer the shapes to lightly sprayed baking sheets. Bake each tray of crackers for 8-12 minutes, or until the bottoms JUST start to gain color. Be careful: these can burn quickly. Remove crackers to a rack to cool; they will become more crisp as they set. For crispier crackers, roll very thinly; roll thicker for more toothsome crackers.
