Category: Appetizers
Servings: 40 Crackers

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Farro Flour 250g
Dry White Wine 80g
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 50g
Butter 25g
Fresh Thyme 3 sprigs
Fine Salt 6g
Water as needed
Coarse Salt 8g
Poppy Seeds 5g
Sunflower Seeds 5g
Flax Seeds 5g

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the farro flour and fine salt. Rub the salt into the flour with your fingers, ensuring it’s evenly mixed.
    • Slowly add the dry white wine and mix until the dough begins to come together. Gradually incorporate the extra virgin olive oil and butter, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and firm.
  2. Roll the Dough:

    • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin sheet about 2-3mm thick.
  3. Prepare the Seed Mixture:

    • In a small bowl, combine the poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and coarse salt. Mix them together. (Optional: You can reduce or omit the coarse salt based on your preference.)
  4. Shape the Crackers:

    • Cut the dough into small squares or any desired shape. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Lightly brush each cracker with a small amount of water. Sprinkle the seed mixture over the crackers, gently pressing it into the dough with your fingers to ensure it sticks.
  5. Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) with the heat set to static. Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Allow them to fully cool before serving, and enjoy the crunchy, savory farro crackers with seeds!

These crackers make for a perfect appetizer or snack. They are crispy, flavorful, and a great way to enjoy the benefits of farro combined with the delightful crunch of seeds. Whether you serve them at a party or enjoy them on your own, these farro crackers are sure to impress.
