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…

500 grams Red Fife (or substitute any tasty heritage whole wheat)

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)

Divide into 10 ounce pieces. Let rest. Shape into rectangle before rolling out.
Roll out as thin as possible onto parchment (1/16 inch). Use flour as needed. Let proof half an hour.

Cut into desired shape. Bake 350F  or 315F convection until well browned. (15-20 minutes)
