Rye Crackers with Cheese and Butter

Ingredients

• 200g (1 3/4 cups) rye flour
• 50g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
• 5g (1 tsp) baking powder
• 5g (1 tsp) sea salt
• 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
• 120ml (1/2 cup) water
• 150g (5 oz) assorted cheeses (e.g., cheddar, gouda, blue cheese)
• 100g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp mixed herbs (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add olive oil and water, mixing until a firm dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin sheet. Using a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut into desired shapes. Place crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Baking

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crackers are golden and crisp. Let cool on a wire rack.

Step 4: Preparing Cheese and Butters

While crackers cool, prepare your assorted cheeses by grating or slicing them as preferred. In a separate bowl, whip the butter until light and fluffy. For a flavored twist, mix in the herbs. Transfer butter mixtures to a piping bag for a decorative touch.

Step 5: Serving

Arrange the crackers on a platter alongside your selection of cheeses and butters. Encourage combining flavors by topping crackers with different cheese and butter combinations.
