Ingredients

• 200 grams Rye flour
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 120 milliliters Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Step 3

Mix in the black sesame seeds and caraway seeds to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil into the dry ingredients and mix with your hands or a spoon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Gradually add the cold water, a little at a time, mixing until a firm dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 6

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out as thinly as possible using a rolling pin (about 2mm thickness).

Step 7

Cut the dough into desired shapes, such as squares, rectangles, or triangles, using a knife or pastry cutter.

Step 8

Transfer the cut cracker dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving minimal gaps between them as they won’t spread.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sea salt flakes evenly over the crackers for a touch of crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
