Your Very Own Healthy Crackers

These crackers are absolutely AMAZING!!! They are so fresh, tasty and a real treat. They are my most recent attempt to help make my family choices the best that they can be. Once you make these great tasting crackers you can eat them with fresh guacamole, hummus, salsa, homemade soups (all found on this site) etc....endless possibilities to go along with these tasty bits of happiness and health!!!
No dehydrator needed, just your oven...cool!!!

Ingredients:(most of the following ingredients can be found in the organic section at Baxtrom's, Farmboy or Sharyn's Pantry)

1 1/2 cups organic flour
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup organic butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup plain organic yogurt
1 egg white, slightly beaten

Preparation:

1.Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2.In a large bowl or food processor combine flour, coriander, cumin, caraway, baking powder and salt. Add butter pieces a little bit at a time until incorporated. Add yogurt and continue mixing until it forms a doughy consistency. If mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or more of yogurt.
3.Transfer dough to a floured surface and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Let sit for about 10 minutes to rise then using a floured rolling pin, flatten dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
4.Use a 2-inch diameter rounded or squared cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place cut-out crackers onto a parchment paper covered or ungreased cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the surface of each cracker with egg white then prick the surface with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
5.Use a spatula to remove crackers and cool completely on a rack.
6.Store crackers in an airtight container.

Makes 35 to 40 crackers

Additional serving suggestions: Serve crackers with your favorite low-fat dip,smoked salmon or break them into smaller pieces, sprinkled over salad (natural croutons)

Voila!!!

Enjoy!!!
