Ingredients
315g of flour ( your choice of plain, rice, wholemeal etc)
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 small egg ***
1/3 cup milk ***
30g butter ***
***i swap these ingredients for good quality olive oil. I don't measure it, I just keep adding until the consistency is not too sticky and easy to roll.
I use the pasta maker to roll the mixture into sheets, but you can also use a rolling pin. Then I transfer the sheets to baking trays and slice across them with a pizza cutter. I don't bother moving them apart, as they separate once they're baked.
Then bake at 180 degrees for about 8-10 mins or until they are golden brown. When you get the crackers of the tray, they fall part where they were cut.
This recipe makes a huge container of crackers and is worth the time investment for the beautiful result. It also means that you have crackers on hand in the cupboard whenever they are need and they extremely cheap when compared to buying rusti crackers from the store.
As an added bonus there is zero waste because you are not bringing home any packaging.
You could change this recipe to any flavour by adding spices or other seeds or change it to a gluten and dairy free option. The best way to find out what works is to experiment.
