The past several days, a few text-type ear worms got to me and inspired this preparation of crackers. It's good and it's general, have fun with it.
My ear worms
1. @Twixlen got Kitchen Aid dough roller attachments.
2. @Hungry_Woolf, when she was an innocent young blogger, used said rollers to make crackers.
3. My health-crazed most recent favorite writer, Martha Rose Shulman disclosed a cracker recipe as my jumping off point.
Dough
water, 100 g
vegetable oil, 30 g
salt, 3 g
atta flour (a fine whole wheat flour commonly found in Indian markets), 120 g
unbleached white flour, 80 g
Mix and wrap in plastic and let sit in fridge over night. This is a dry dough, not slack; this should be dry enough to make it through the rollers without sticking. The dough is unleavened, yet, when baked gives a tender and crisp cracker.
Procedure
Cut dough in thirds and flatten each into a squat, disc and run through rollers on the widest setting. Keep shaping and reshaping and run through rollers repeatedly until you get a nice long rectangular shape; finish it by running through the next thinner roller setting.
See video below for a typical piece of dough, this takes a little practice to get a feel for the reshaping:
Sheets misted with water, sprinkled with salt, pepper and sesame seeds and rolled lighly with a rolling pin to embed the toppings. I also score the dough with a pizza cutter so breaking these crackers will be easier when they come out of the oven. Bake these about 20 minutes, let cool a little and snap them apart whatever shape you used.
Probly coulda cooked these a little more, until browned, but they were still crisp and tasty. A teaspoon of sugar in the dough would help browning without giving much sweetness.
