The caraway is just a starting point. You can use another whole spice if you like (fennel seeds and cumin work well); keep the quantity the same.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 servings

Ingredients

¾ teaspoon caraway seeds
¾ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons rye flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Flaky sea salt

Special Equipment

A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°. Grind caraway seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle until coarsely ground. Transfer to a food processor. Add all-purpose flour, oil, rye flour, and kosher salt and process to combine. With the motor running, pour in ¼ cup water and continue to process until mixture resembles wet sand.

    Step 2

    Transfer dough a clean work surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Roll out dough until you can almost see through it (about 14x9"). Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Dough might be an irregular shape, but that’s fine; just trim any excess so it fits on sheet. Sprinkle dough with sea salt.

    Step 3

    Bake cracker until golden brown, 14–16 minutes. Let cool before breaking into irregular pieces.
