Raincoast Crisps-2-Apricot-Hazelnut Crisps
- Crisps Base Recipe
- 1 cup organic whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup organic all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup whole cane sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- Seeds:
- 1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup flax seed, ground
- Suggested Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup apricots
- 1/2 cup dried figs, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
- or
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup figs
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- Zest of one orange
- In a large bowl, stir together the flours, baking soda and salt. Add the buttermilk, brown sugar and honey and stir a few strokes.
- Add the seeds, (pumpkin, sesame, and flax) apricots, dried figs, hazelnuts, and rosemary and stir just until blended.
- Pour the batter into 1 8"x4" loaf pan and 2 mini-loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Bake for about 22 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
- Wrap tightly and freeze slightly before slicing. OR freeze for up to two months, then partially thaw, slice and bake for fresh crackers.
- The cooler the bread, the easier it is to slice really thin. I start with my loaves partially frozen.
- Slice the loaves as thinly as you can and place the slices in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. (Julie likes to slice and bake one loaf and pop the other in the freezer for another day.)
- Preheat the oven to 300u0b0F and bake them for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes, until crisp and deep golden.
