Saratele dietetice cu chimen / Diet caraway crackers

Am facut aceste saratele dietetice din dorinta de a manca ceva sanatos si relativ asemanator „crantaneilor” din comert, dar nu mi-am imaginat nici o clipa ca vor fi un mare hit :) Au disparut rapid de pe masa si toata lumea mi-a cerut reteta. Foarte crocante, cu aroma aceea minunata de chimen si usor picante… Nemaipomenite! ;-)

Ingrediente

• 250g faina integrala de secara
• 65g mix de seminte rasnite: chimen (am pus mai mult pentru ca imi place mult aroma), mac, susan, floarea soarelui, in (puteti folosi ce seminte va plac mai mult, in proportia dorita)
• 4 lg ulei vegetal
• 1/2 lg sare (am folosit sare de Himalaya cu paprika si chilli, puteti folosi si sare normala, dar adaugati si putina boia daca vreti sa iasa picante)
• 200 ml apa
• 1 lgt zahar brun
• susan si sare cu paprika pentru presarat deasupra

Amestecam ingredientele si framantam bine aluatul rezultat pe o suprafata presarata cu multa faina. Il intindem cu sucitorul si decupam forme de saratele (eu am facut patratele). Le-am facut mai subtirele pentru ca asa ies foarte crocante.

Asezam saratelele intr-o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt, le ungem cu o pensula cu putin ulei, apoi presaram susan si neaparat sare peste ele. Le introducem la cuptor la foc potrivit pentru aprox 10-15 min (depinde de cuptor), pana incep sa se rumeneasca. Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION

I wanted to nibble on something crunchy and relatively healthy, so I made up these diet crackers, but I never thought they’d be a great hit :) They simply vanished from the bowl and everyone asked for the recipe. Extra crunchy, with that wonderful caraway flavor, slightly spicy… Great! ;-)

Ingredients

• 250 g whole rye flour
• 65 g mixed ground seeds: caraway (I put more because I like the flavor), poppy, sesame, sunflower, flax (what combination you like, in the desired proportion)
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 tbsp of salt (I used Himalayan salt with paprika and chili, but you can also use regular salt and add paprika, if you want them spicy)
• 200 ml water
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• sesame and paprika salt for sprinkling on top

Combine all the ingredients and mix them into a dough on floured surface. Roll it and cut the desired shapes (I cut squares). I made them thin because the thinner they are, the crunchier they get :)

Place the crackers on a baking paper lined tray, grease them with a little oil, then sprinkle sesame and salt over them. Bake them at medium heat for 10-15 min (depending on the oven), until they start to brown a little on the edges. Enjoy the nibbling :)
