Organic Rye Crackers Recipes

ORGANIC RYE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven: 375 degrees F
• In a mixing bowl measure all dry ingredients and combine well with a dough whisk . In a separate bowl stir together the egg, oil, and chopped onion. Slowly pour the onion mixture into the dry mixture, then whisk vigorously until well blended. The dough will be moist. Scrape the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and roll out dough using a 1/8" rolling pin into a rectangle shape. Sprinkle rye flour as needed to keep the rolling pin from sticking to the dough.
• Take the baking sheet and place on top of the dough on parchment paper (holding parchment paper on each end), then flip it upside down to transfer easily. Peel off parchment paper. Place into preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes (click here for a great kitchen timer), then turn off the oven. Remove the baking sheet to a heat safe surface and while still soft, cut the dough into squares (or your desired shape) using a pastry wheel . Return the baking sheet to the still warm oven and let sit for 10 minutes for a dry, crispy cracker consistency.

NY STYLE RYE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seed, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir in the canola oil and honey. While stirring with a fork, slowly add the water until the dough comes together in a ball. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Divide the dough into 4 sections, rolling each piece out on parchment paper to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shape then place on a baking sheet. Prick each cracker a few times with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are brown and the crackers are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove immediately to a cooling rack.

SOURDOUGH CRACKERS WITH RYE FLOUR AND BLACK SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F.
• Combine the ingredients in a bowl, minus the toppings, and mix together. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth. If you want the seeds to be well-trapped in the dough, add them during this initial mixing rather than later.
• Roll out the dough to be less than 1/4-inch thick. Do this on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat that fits a half-sheet pan. To get a uniform rectangle, trim the edges and place the pieces inside the dough and re-roll.
• Brush or spritz with additional oil. Sprinkle on the seeds and additional salt, and roll again a few times to press in the toppings.
• Using a pizza cutter or bench knife, cut grooves into the dough, creating a grid with the cracker size of your choice. I made a 9x6 grid for 54 crackers.
• Dock the dough with a fork to prevent big bubbles during baking.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning the tray once about 8 minutes in. Remove when the dough at the outer edges begins to brown.
• Let cool for a few minutes and then separate the crackers on the cut lines.
