Hello my lovelies! Sometimes you stumble on something that is just delicious and you have to share. That’s how these crackers came about. I know I’m obsessed with the cracker. Crunchy savoury snacks FTW. These are based on a recipe in the description of the whole wheat flour of my favourite flour shop Wholegrain Organics. Get over it – I will not stop going on about them for a loooong while yet. I made a stab at a flavour combination. I added a little baking powder to help with the snap. And presto. These crackers. They are ridiculously easy to make. And they taste great on their own or with all the things that go on crackers. By which I mean cheese.
Use the freshest flour you can. These are designed for a whole wheat flour which is ground whole grains of wheat. You can make them with wholemeal flour which is white flour with bran added back to it and they will be good but not have the full glory of their flavour.
This is stupidly easy. Heat the oven to 170C (335F). Cut two sheets of baking paper the size of your cookie sheets.
Mix the flour, ground hazelnuts, salt and seeds in a bowl.
Add the oil and water. Mix to a dough. You don’t need to knead it just make sure it’s uniform in texture.
Divide it into two pieces. Put one piece on each sheet of baking paper.
Roll out using a rolling pin. You may need a little flour to stop it sticking. It depends a little on the flour you used. Roll the dough out thin. About 2mm thick at the most.
Sprinkle a little flaky salt on the surface and lightly roll over it with the rolling pin to make it stick.
Bake the sheets of dough for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly browned and pretty crisp. You can do both sheets at once if you swap the top and bottom trays and rotate them halfway through baking.
Transfer the cracker sheets to wire racks to cool before snapping into shards with your hands.
Must be time for cheese…

Bake the sheets of dough for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly browned and pretty crisp. You can do both sheets at once if you swap the top and bottom trays and rotate them halfway through baking. They will get fully crisp as they cool.
Transfer the cracker sheets to wire racks to cool before snapping into shards with your hands.

Cook’s Notes:
- You can switch out the nuts in this recipe by weight – the crackers are lovely with almonds or walnuts.
- If you want nice uniform crackers you can cut them before baking and then bake them already shaped – you will need to reduce the cooking time so watch them carefully.
– These crackers will stay fresh and crisp for up to two weeks if you keep them in a properly airtight container –
