This is really easy, although to be honest it’s even easier to just go to Ikea. Makes five or six 20cm diameter crackers. Firstly, thoroughly mix your dry ingredients:
- 1 cup/250ml dark rye flour
- 1 cup plain flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp instant dry yeast
Now add the wet ingredients and mix/knead to an even dough
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tbs melted unsulted butter
Once mixed to a dough, cover and leave to rise at room temperature for an hour.
Then heat your oven to 190C and roll out your crackers. Traditionally they are made in big circles with holes in the middle, which helps with even cooking (and looks cool). Or you could make smaller rounds, squares or anything. I found the easiest way was to roll out onto baking parchment with a bit of help from a dusting of flour, literally as thin as you can get it. Cut a circle round a plate with a pizza cutter, and stamp out the hole with a cookie cutter. Prick all over with a fork (all over) and brush with melted butter to help it brown. Sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt. Keep the offcuts and re-roll. You may have to cook in batches. Put the baking paper on a baking tray and cook for 15 minutes. If it isn’t brown and crisp all over, put it back for a couple more minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Easy!
