Sprouted Crackers
- 5 cups of organic sprouted flour (see below for varieties)
- 2 1/4 cups organic whole buttermilk or yogurt
- 1/2 cup organic unsalted melted butter (plus extra for greasing pan and brushing tops of crackers)
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- Lightly butter 2 large baking sheets.
- Place flour and buttermilk in stand mixer and blend until slightly stiff dough forms.
- Add melted butter, baking powder, salt, and flavoring (see below). Blend well.
- Taking a fourth of the dough at a time, 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 on a lightly buttered baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with extra melted butter.
- For dried crackers place in oven on lowest possible temperature (around 150 degrees).
- Leave in oven all day or overnight until completely dried. Will be crispy and full of flavor.
- For baked crackers place in oven preheated to 300 degrees.
- Bake for 30 minutes until lightly browned on top.
- Reduce heat to 200 degrees and let crackers continue to bake until completely dried and crispy (about 2 – 2 ½ additional hours).
