Spelt Everything Crackers:

Some of my recipe's are very clean low fat, low carb diet type meals ...and some are created for my son ...these crackers are something that we can both enjoy.
So don't freak when I tell you the ingredients list for these crackers...I was disturbed how easy it was since I had never made crackers ...so maybe you want to sit down ...

Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Salt
1 1/2 Cup Spelt Flour
1/2 Cup Cold Water

yup ...thats it 

the rest is up to you ....for these everything crackers I added:
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp poppy seeds
2 tsp sesame seeds

This makes one large cooky sheet of crackers

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Dissolve the salt in 1/2 cup cold water.  Stir in the spelt flour until combined.  Add the garlic/onion powders and seeds.  Kneed the dough a few turns until a ball forms.
2. Roll out dough on a piece of parchment or pie sheet if you have one.   Do your best to get them as thin as possible.  Transfer to cooky sheet lined with parchment.  Using a spray bottle filled with water, spray dough to give a glossy finish.  Prick dough all over with a fork.
3. Bake until dough is crisp and golden and snaps apart ..about 15 to 25 minutes.  WATCH these cook.... check them after 10 minutes then again at 15 and so on.  the thinner they are the faster they will cook.  You'll get it :)

WE always make snack plates.  Crackers are often involved..The spelt flour is an excellent option.  Spelt contains 15 - 20 % protein which happens to be higher than plain wheat flour.  In comparison it is also higher than wheat in complex carbohydrates, iron, potassium and B vitamins.  Spelt is easier to digest because it has better water solubility.  Spelt also contains nutrients that aid in blood clotting and stimulate the bodies immune system.  Also high in fiber it aid in reducing cholesterol and heart disease.  ANd we think its yummy.

enjoy!
