Never buy Fancy Crackers again

Byamazingfoodstv


Inspired by those fancy ass crackers served at fancy ass parties, except for 1/3 of the price of store-bought. Plus, the ability to customize the flavour to whatever you’d like!

Sheldo’s Fancy Crackers

Cracker Base
– 240g (1 cup) water
– 180g (¾ cup) Greek yogurt
– 40g (2 Tbsp) molasses (sub: dark maple syrup or buckwheat honey)
– 280g (2 cups) AP flour
– 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
– 1 tsp (6g) baking soda
– 1 tsp (6g) fine sea salt or table salt
– ¼ tsp MSG (optional)
– Any dry herbs, spices or seasonings (optional—see note 2)

Base Seed Mix
– ½ cup (80g) pumpkin seeds
– ¼ cup (40g) flax seeds
– ¼ cup (30g) white sesame seeds

Cranberry Hazelnut
– 1 cup Base Seed Mix
– 1 cup (150g) whole hazelnuts
– 1 cup (140g) dried cranberries

Sun-dried tomato
– 1 cup Base Seed Mix
– 2 tsp garlic powder
– 2 tsp dried oregano
– 15g (3/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup (100g) diced sun-dried tomatoes
– 1 cup (150g) almonds, roughly chopped

1. Prep: Pre-heat oven to 350°F (175°C) with rack in the middle position. Grease foil molds or mini loaf pans.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large measuring cup combine water, Greek yogurt, and molasses.
3. Mix dry ingredients & mix-ins: In a large bowl thoroughly whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, optional seasonings, and MSG. Add all mix-ins and toss to coat and separate.
4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir together until just combined and there’s no dry flour left.
5. Bake: Transfer batter to greased molds. Smooth out the tops. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool: Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from molds. Wrap and freeze for 2 hours or chill in fridge overnight.
7. Prep: Pre-heat oven to 250°F with racks in the middle position. Line 4 baking trays with parchment paper.
8. Slice & Bake: Slice loafs into cracker-thin slices with a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on baking trays. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Flip crackers halfway through baking time.
9. Cool & Serve: Let cool on trays for 30 minutes to let the crackers crisp up fully. Serve & Enjoy!

Notes:
1. The recipe needs about 1¾ cups (420g) of a soured dairy product. Optionally use: 1¾ cups buttermilk or 1¾ cups milk + 2 Tbsp lemon juice,. What you use might change the consistency of the dough slightly but should not affect the outcome.
2. Add whatever seasonings you’d like. Use at most 1 tablespoon of dried herbs and powdered spices and add into the dried ingredients. Use at most 3 tablespoons wet seasonings like pastes or liquids and stir into the wet ingredients.

  3. Trader Joe's has three different flavors of these which are so addictive. What I'd like to do is try to make them in my canapé molds (don't ask) but the problem has always been that once you get the lids on you can't watch them. I guess I could take one lid off and test them with a toothpick. Anyway, great idea and I have literally everything I need including sorghum.

  5. I just made these. We compared the name brand and these. Seriously, you cannot tell the difference.
    The only change I made was to substitute the one cup of water with Starbucks Carmel Macchiato drink. ( at 31 grams of sugar, I was looking for somewhere to use it)
    I did not use any sugar because of the high amount of sugar in the drink.
    Thank you, so good!

  10. I needed a good cracker recipe. I love cheese, olives and a meat but feel horrible with the tainted choices from grocery store . Thanks for the healthy verity and now I'm cutting cheese 😮😅 too eat, too eat. But I did save your's due to the foil pan. ❤

  12. First time stumbling across your channel and this couldn’t be a better recipe! These type of crisps are popular in our house, but they are a splurge.

    This is so appealing! All the different combinations of ingredients make the possibilities endless. And from scratch will always be healthier too.

    Thank you!

  15. Awesome vid! 🤩 I will be making these this Christmas (usually buy Raincoast) for the baskets of goodies I give out. Ty so much for showing how easy, and inexpensive this can be! Subbed to your channel on this recipe alone 😊😊😊

  19. Love the look of these!! I bet they'd be amazing with warm curry spices. Then top them in hummus or similar spread. Mmm.

    I'm gonna make a batch of the tomato parm ones tomorrow. I'll come back and let ya know 🙂

  24. I LOVE these crackers
    Being able to create my own is something I am definitely going to do as I am HIGHLY allergic to tree nuts – so I can make crackers with ingredients I know that are safe for me
    I am going to make crackers with poppyseed & sesame seeds & Sun dried tomatoes and serve with Camembert baked with grapes
