HOMEMADE MULTI-SEED CRACKERS



Homemade Multi-Seed Crackers image

Turn leftover brown rice and quinoa from dinner or meal-prepping into these delicious crispy crackers that are loaded with three good-for-you seeds--and create an everything-bagel flavor, without the bagel. The whole grains that make up this copycat cracker recipe add lots of fiber for a healthy snack that pairs perfectly with hummus or cheese.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup cooked brown rice, at room temperature
1 cup cooked quinoa, at room temperature
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup flaxseeds
¼ cup sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
2 tablespoons water
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place oven racks in upper and lower sections of the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F. Cut 3 pieces of parchment paper the size of a large baking sheet.
  • Place rice, quinoa, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, tamari, water, salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until finely chopped and coming together in a ball. The dough will be sticky.
  • Divide the dough in half. Place 1 piece of dough between 2 sheets of the prepared parchment paper. Roll out as thin as possible. Remove the top sheet of parchment and place the dough with parchment on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and prepared parchment.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Switch the position of the baking sheets and continue baking until dark around the edges and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and carefully break into roughly shaped crackers. If some crackers aren't fully crisp, return them to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more.

HOMEMADE WHOLE GRAIN CRACKERS



Homemade Whole Grain Crackers image

There are plenty of whole-grain crackers on store shelves, but none taste as good to me as those made at home. You can use a mix of grains and flours to make them, including gluten-free varieties like millet, buckwheat and rice flours, and top them with any number of seeds, herbs or spices. They're quick to mix together and very easy to roll out. "Healthy" crackers can be hard and dry, but this week's offerings are not. I use olive oil in all of them, and some work best with a small amount of butter. I've been making sesame crackers for decades, tweaking my recipe over the years. They have a wholesome, rich, nutty flavor.

Time 20m

Yield About four dozen crackers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil
4 to 5 tablespoons water, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix together the flour, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. If using a mixing bowl, add the oil and cut in with a fork. If using a stand mixer, mix at medium speed. In a food processor, pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water, and mix with your hands, or at medium speed in a mixer or in the food processor, until you can gather the dough into a ball.
  • Lightly dust your work surface and roll out the dough, or roll out between pieces of parchment, plastic or wax paper. Cut into desired shapes -- squares, diamonds or cookie-cutter shapes -- and place on the baking sheet, close together but not touching.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned, switching the sheet trays front to back and top to middle halfway through. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool on racks.
