Everything Flatbread Crackers
Description
Starting with a mix of whole wheat pastry and all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt, cold butter is pulsed into crumbly bits in a food processor. Milk is added gradually to form a dough that is refrigerated to chill and firm up. Rolled very thin, the dough is transferred to a baking sheet. A beaten egg is brushed on top to help the seasoning adhere.
The seasoning blend combines poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced onion, garlic powder, sea salt, and cracked black pepper, pressed slightly onto the dough. Baking begins at 350°F in two intervals, with rotation to ensure even baking, then continued in short bursts until crisply golden. The crackers have a crunchy texture with a toasty and aromatic flavor contributed by the seasoning mix and touch of butter in the dough.
These crackers are versatile for snack time or to accompany cheese and vegetables, providing a flaky but sturdy base. Their distinct seasoning mimics classic "everything" bagel toppings in a cracker form, adding complexity to the snack experience.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter cold
- ½ cup milk I used 2%
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons onion minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- black pepper freshly cracked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a food processor, pulse flours, salt and sugar until combined. Add in cold butter and pulse until mixture is combined and the butter is in course crumbs. Stream in milk while pulsing the processor until the dough forms.
- Form dough into a ball with your hands and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, flour surface and a rolling pin, and roll out dough until it is very thin. Gently lift dough and place it on a baking sheet. Don’t worry about it being a perfect rectangle.
- Beat egg in a small bowl, and brush onto dough. Sprinkle seasonings of choice on, then lightly press to make sure they adhere.
- Bake for 5 minutes, rotate pan, and bake for 5 minute more. Check crackers and bake in 3 minute intervals until crisp and golden brown. Watch carefully as they can burn.
- Serve with cheese, vegetables or fruit, hummus and olives.
Notes
- Use cold butter to create flaky crumbs in the dough for crisp crackers.
- Roll the dough very thin to ensure a crunchy texture once baked.
- Bake in intervals and monitor closely to prevent burning since crackers can bake quickly.
- Serve crackers with cheese, vegetables, fruit, hummus, or olives for variety.
- This recipe is adapted from Martha, offering a reliable base for these seasoned crackers.
