Salty cracker rumble with green onion, crunchy and delicious

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Resting Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour
Yield: About 30–40 crackers
Calories: ~40 per cracker (depending on exact size)

Ingredients

• 150 g all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for extra fiber)
• 60 ml milk (any kind — dairy, almond, oat all work)
• 35 g fresh spring onions / green onions (finely chopped — use mostly the green part for flavor)
• 30 g unsalted butter (melted)
• 10 g sesame seeds (optional — adds nice crunch & nutty flavor)
• 2 g (½ tsp) instant dry yeast
• 2 g (½ tsp) salt
• 1 tsp baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the wet ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and salt until fully combined.
2. Add dry ingredients Add the flour, instant yeast, and baking soda. Mix roughly with a spatula or spoon until a shaggy dough starts to form.
3. Incorporate the onions & seeds Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Knead gently with your hands for 1–2 minutes until everything is evenly distributed and the dough is smooth, soft, and compact (it should not be sticky).
4. Rest the dough Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature — this helps the dough relax and makes rolling easier.
5. Roll out the dough Place the dough on a sheet of baking paper. Cover with another sheet of baking paper (this prevents sticking — no flour needed). Roll out with a rolling pin into a thin, even rectangle (~3–4 mm thick).
6. Cut the crackers Remove the top sheet of paper. Trim the edges with a knife or pizza cutter to make neat sides. Cut into squares or rectangles (about 3–4 cm each). Prick the surface all over with a fork (prevents puffing).
7. Bake Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F) — static mode (no fan). Transfer the baking paper with crackers directly onto a baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let cool completely on the tray — they crisp up more as they cool.
8. Store Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (they stay crunchy!).
