Ingredients
1 cup oats
1¼ cup whole milk, hot
¼ c unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt (+ more for sprinkling)
1¼ cup rye flour
1½ cup flour
spices/seeds (optional)
Instructions
Heat milk to almost boiling, then take off heat. Add oatmeal and allow to sit to cool completely (or lukewarm -- rewarding my impatience).
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Add butter, sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and rye flour. Mix well to incorporate.
Stir in all-purpose flour little by little to make a stiff dough. Knead to incorporate completely.
Divide dough into two equal parts. Roll to about ⅛-inch thickness. Try to be consistent with thickness to ensure even baking time on the crackers. This thickness, or less, will give you a crispy cracker.
Use cookie cutters or cut out dough in designs/shapes with a pizza wheel. Place shapes on parchment- or silicon-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt (and spices, if using) before placing in oven.
Baking time will change depending on the size of your crackers as well and the thickness. My small crackers took about 9-10 minutes total (I flipped them over halfway for more browning).
These keep for about a week in an airtight container.
