Usually you would use an egg wash to keep the seeds sticking to the crackers, but we are of course not using any eggs (because gross!). We’re using a quick mix of water and maple syrup to brush the crackers with before baking, then we’re sprinkling the seeds on top and using a rolling pin to push them a bit further into the dough. That way all the seeds stay on the crackers. Success!
Ingredients
Basic Crackers Dough
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons poppyseeds
- 2 teaspoons flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon pretzel salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- In a mixing bowl combine flour and baking powder. Then add in the olive oil and water. Mix with a large wooden spoon until it comes together and knead with your hand until it's a smooth dough. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Add more water if it's too crumbly.
- On a floured baking sheet roll out the dough until as thin as possible and evenly. Use more flour if you need to.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of water with the of maple syrup and brush the top of the crackers with it.
- Combine all the seeds and the pretzel salt for the Everything Topping in a bowl and sprinkle it on the cracker dough. Use the rolling pin to press the seeds into the dough a bit.
- Cut it with a pizza cutter length- and widthwise into individual crackers.
- Bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes until they get crispy. Let them cool off a bit before digging in. They're delicious with homemade hummus.
Recipe Notes
To store them: Let them cool off completely, then put them in an air-tight jar. This way they should stay crispy and delicious!
