Ingredients
- 1¾cups rice flour (preferably brown rice flour)
- ¾cup plus 2 tablespoons millet flour (I make mine by grinding millet in a spice mill)
- ¾teaspoon salt
- 1teaspoon sugar
- ¼cup water
- 2large eggs
- 2tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 2tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or omit the butter and use ¼ cup olive oil)
- 2tablespoons seeds, like as sesame, charnushka nigella or poppy seeds
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Combine the flours, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until the flour mixture is crumbly. Combine the water, eggs and olive oil in a measuring cup. Turn on the processor. Add the liquids with the machine running, and process until the dough comes together. The dough will be soft. If it seems wet, add another tablespoon or two of rice flour.
- Step 2
Remove from the food processor. Divide into two portions, and roll out each portion into thin sheets. Sprinkle on the seeds. Using the rolling pin, gently press the topping into the surface of the dough. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles, and transfer to the baking sheets.
- Step 3
Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
- Advance preparation: These crackers will keep for about a week in an airtight container.

I made exactly as directed but found the dough very dry. I added an extra egg and forged ahead. A nice platform for the nigella seeds that have been languishing…
Made half a recipe with the brown ice flour and buckwheat instead of millet. Butter and oil. Needed at least two more tablespoons of water. Chilled dough, then rolled out as thin as possible on piece of parchment. Just fit on one half-sheet pan. Cut into squares with pizza roller. Sprinkled with some kosher salt and baked 25 minutes. Very tasty--dark and earthy.
