Ingredients

dry ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup golden flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup Pepitas
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seed kernels
  • 1 cup assorted dried fruit (I used chopped apricots, dates, cranberries, currants.)
  • 1 cup assorted nuts (I used whole hazelnuts, whole pistachios, whole almonds.)
wet ingredients
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter or spray 4 mini loaf pans.
  2. Toss the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the buttermilk and honey to the bowl and stir until everything is well combined. Note: the batter will be thin.
  4. Fill your 4 loaf pans evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it.
  5. Let cool briefly in the pans before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
  6. Wrap the completely cooled loaves in plastic or foil and put in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until nice and firm. Note: it's important that the loaves be completely cool before you put them in the freezer.
  7. Preheat the oven to 300F.
  8. Slice the partially frozen loaves as thinly as you can. You should get anywhere from 20-30 slices from each loaf.
  9. Put the slices in a single layer on a dry baking sheet (you can fit them closely together) and bake for 15 minutes on one side, then flip for another 15 minutes. Note: depending on the thickness of your crackers they could take a little more or a little less time. Watch carefully so that they don't burn.

Notes

  • If using larger dried fruits like apricots or figs, be sure to cut them in smaller pieces.
  • If you don't have buttermilk you can make a substitute using whole milk and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix them together and let sit on the counter for 15 minutes before using.
  • fresh or dried herbs
  • grated aged cheeses
  • different whole grain flours like buckwheat or rye
  • rolled oats
