ALL CRACKERS RECIPES

Steps:

• This works great as a stand-alone recipe, but also as a component in Jamie’s Picnic Love from Together – see the full collection of menus here. ON THE DAY Put the flour and rapeseed oil into a bowl with a pinch of sea salt, add 125ml of water, and mix into a dough. Knead for 2 minutes, then rub the dough with oil, cover, and leave to rest for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. With oiled hands, halve the dough, then press, flatten and stretch out each piece on to large oiled trays until super-thin, patching up any tears as you go. Evenly divide and scatter over all the seeds, with a pinch of sea salt. Pat the seeds in really well, then bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Once cool, snap and wrap, ready to go. They’re exceptional on the day you make them, but I enjoy them for a few days afterwards, too – keep them in an airtight tin, ready to tuck into.

Steps:

• Set your oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands to combine to a rough dough. If it’s sticky, add a little more flour so it’s nice and smooth.
• On a sheet of baking parchment sprinkled with flour, roll the dough out to the thickness of a £1 coin, then use a pizza cutter or knife and cut it into squares.
• Brush the squares with a little water and sprinkle with some salt and the 1 tsp chopped rosemary. Prick each square once in the middle with a fork.
• Transfer the baking parchment straight onto a baking sheet, separate each square of dough a little, and bake in the hot oven for 12-15 mins or until the crackers are slightly golden. Cool, then store in a tin for up to two weeks.
