From Good Eats, episode Flat Is Beautiful: Going Crackers . You really need an aluminum-free double-acting baking powder for this, but if you can't find one, go with 1/2 t baking powder and 1 t cream of tartar. Ingredients:
5 ounces whole wheat flour (about 1 cup) |
4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup) |
1/3 cup sesame seeds |
1/3 cup poppy seed |
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
6 1/2 fluid ounces water (3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp) |
Directions:
1. Combine in a medium bowl: both flours, both seeds, salt, baking powder. Stir well. Stir in oil. Add water and stir until just combined.
2. Turn dough out onto a floured board. Knead a few times, to ensure dough is evenly mixed and smooth. Cut into 8 pieces and cover with a towel 15 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 450°F.
4. Flatten one dough ball and pass through a pasta roller at the widest setting. Reduce the pasta roller and continue rolling through and tightening down until dough is about 1/8 thick. Place dough sheet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using pizza cutter, cut sheets into 2x2 squares, removing any leftover irregular edges. Bake 8-12 minutes or until browned and crisp. Transfer to a rack and cool completely. Store in a zip top bag with as much air removed as possible. Use within 2 week.s.
