Sprouted Red Wheat Lavash Crackers
(Simple way to keep crackers on hand at all times)
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm filtered water
- 3 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
- 5 1/2 cups organic sprouted red wheat flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a stand mixer bowl, add yeast to water and let sit in a warm area for 10 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Using the dough hook attachment, blend ingredients until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Remove dough from the bowl onto a floured surface and divide it into 4 uniform sections. Chill dough for 1 hour.
- Roll each section of dough as thinly (about 1/8”) as possible on a floured surface. I usually roll into an unstructured rectangle. Transfer the rolled dough sheets onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets (I lightly brush the parchment with olive oil). Lightly brush the tops of each dough sheet with olive oil and sprinkle with flaked sea salt.
- Bake until golden brown (bakes quickly – around 6-9 minutes). I bake one pan at a time for even browning. Remove from oven and cool completely. Break into pieces. Great as crackers for cheeses, dips, and soups.
This is another fabulous but simple recipe from Chef Banjo who loves to bake with our sprouted flours.
Peggy’s Sprouted Crackers
|
- 5 cups sprouted flour of choice
- 2 1/4 cups organic whole buttermilk or yogurt
- 1/2 cup organic unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- Place flour and buttermilk in stand mixer with dough blade and blend until slightly stiff dough forms. Add melted butter, baking powder, salt, and flavoring of choice (see notes below). Blend well.
- Take a fourth of the dough at a time and roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut crackers into squares.
- Place close together (can touch) on a lightly buttered baking sheet and place in oven on lowest possible temperature (around 150-170 degrees) and dry the dough until crisp (overnight). For a baked version, place crackers in 300-degree oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees for 2-2 ½ hours. Either method, crackers will be crispy and full of flavor.
- NOTE: For a rich fermented flavor mix flour and buttermilk. Cover and let stand on counter overnight. Then add rest of ingredients.
My favorite variations:
Rosemary/Walnut – to basic recipe add 2 rounded tablespoons of ground rosemary, 1 tablespoon dried rosemary leaves and ¼ teaspoon of walnut oil.
Sesame/Poppy Seed – add 2 tablespoons each of sesame and poppy seeds
Cinnamon – add 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon cinnamon oil, and ¾ cup organic sugar or maple sugar.
Cracked Pepper – add 2 tablespoons of cracked black, green, or pink peppercorns.
Herbed – Add 1 ½ tablespoons dried dill, 1 teaspoon each basil, thyme, oregano, and tarragon.
