Kitchen Sink Crackers
These are the crackers to make after a big round of bread making when you have a little bit of this and that left and need something with more crunch than all that stale bread sitting on your counter…

150 grams Rye
150 grams Buckwheat
150 grams Heirloom Cornmeal –coarse or fine
50 grams Sesame seeds
100 grams Pumpkin seeds
150 grams currants
40 grams Honey
60 grams unsalted butter
30 grams Sea Salt
5 grams Yeast
Mix with water to a kneadable dough texture and let ferment for 2 to 3 hours. (covered)
