Buckwheat Crackers With Sesame Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the racks positioned inside in the middle and upper third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift together the flours.
• Mix together the flours, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. If using a mixing bowl, add the oil and cut in with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. In a stand mixer, mix at medium speed; in a food processor, pulse until crumbly. Add the water, and mix with your hands (or at medium speed in a mixer or food processor) until you can gather the dough into a ball.
• Lightly dust your work surface, and roll out the dough, or roll out between pieces of parchment, plastic or wax paper. Cut into desired shapes -- squares, diamonds or cookie-cutter shapes -- and place on the baking sheet, close together but not touching.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned, switching the sheet trays halfway through from front to back and top to middle. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool on racks.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, sesame seeds, sugar, and coarse salt. Work butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in cream with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Blend soaked buckwheat groats (with any remaining water) and raisins with raisin water and continue until raisins are broken up. Add maple syrup, garlic, and salt, When well blended, add ground and whole sesame seeds. Spread mixture fairly thin onto drying sheets. I spread one and a half cups of mixture onto 12" x 18" thin plastic sheets available in cake supplies and a glass table with a lamp on the floor to check the thickness. Be careful not to spread too thinly as crackers will disintegrate when flipping them. Put cracker sheets in dehydrator at 110 degrees (or on cookie sheet in oven at lowest setting and door open). Remove after about 2-4 hours and score crackers for breaking and return. Flip crackers onto screen as soon as they can be handled without breaking (after about 6-12 hours) and return until crisp (another 12-24 hours). If crackers are allowed to stay on plastic sheets too long, they will stick like glue!
