Instructions
Mixer option: Add all ingredients to the bowl and mix just until combined. By hand: Whisk together dry ingredients (flours, salt, baking soda, yeast, chives, sesame). Add the oil and most of the milk; stir to form a soft dough. If it feels dry, add milk a teaspoon at a time.
Shape into a smooth ball (no kneading).
Rest covered for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper to 2 mm thickness.
Cut into squares (4×4 cm or 5×5 cm).
Dock with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake at 180 °C / 356 °F for 15–18 minutes until golden. For extra crispness, finish with 2 minutes on fan/convection.
Tips for Bakers
Use different cookie cutters for playful shapes.
Gather trim pieces, wrap, and let them relax 5–10 minutes before re-rolling if the dough resists.
You can swap in other flours (spelt, whole-wheat). Reduce or increase milk to keep a soft, rollable dough—always start with less liquid and add gradually.
For a vegan version, use plant milk.
Keep in an airtight container up to 1 week. Re-crisp in the oven at 160 °C / 320 °F for 5–7 minutes.
Yeast: The recipe uses baker’s yeast for a light, slightly aerated bite. If you prefer a pure “cracker snap,” you can omit yeast and increase baking soda to 2–2.5 g; texture will be crisper and flatter.
Why Tritordeum? This cereal’s naturally higher lutein content lends the crackers a warm golden color and mild, pleasant aroma—ideal for simple, clean-label snacks.
