How to Make Homemade Toast Crackers from Sprouted Bread
No Crackers? No Problem! Our fast and easy DIY sprouted bread crackers are the ultimate last-minute appetizer!
Ingredients
For the sprouted toast crackers:
- 2 – 4+ slices Silver Hills Bakery Organic Multigrain (or your favourite Silver Hills Bakery sprouted bread)
- 1 – 2+ tsp olive oil (for brushing)
- To taste salt and pepper
To serve:
- ¼ cup+ fresh sprouts (such as alfalfa, clover, radish, or your favourite blend)
- 2 – 4+ Tbsp non-dairy cream cheese (we used Boursin Garlic & Herb Dairy-Free Cheese)
- 1 – 4+ tsp red pepper jelly (or any jam, jelly, or chutney that suits fresh sprouts!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Flatten slices (or heels) of Silver Hills Bakery sprouted bread with a rolling pin. Slice into cracker-sized pieces and place on a baking sheet (see tips).
- Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper (optional, see tips).
- Bake at 350℉ for 10 minutes or until crispy (flip after 5 minutes).
- Cool and serve with whatever healthy toppings you have—including a generous sprinkle of fresh sprouts on each sprouted toast cracker!
Tips
- **Crusts can bounce back when rolled.** For evenly thin and extra crispy sprouted toast crackers, remove the crusts before rolling (freeze and save for croutons or sprouted breadcrumb cookies!). Crusts will still bake to cracker crispness, so go ahead and leave them on for a rustic cracker with all your favourite sprouted bread’s tasty toppings for texture!- **If using heels, roll twice**, brush olive oil on the cut side, and add 2 – 3 minutes to the baking time to get them cracker crisp.- **Salt and pepper are just seasonings to start with**—experiment with garlic salt, herb-infused, seasoned, or smoked salts, hot pepper flakes or savoury herbs like rosemary, thyme, or dill. Or sprinkle with other spices or seasonings you like!- **Don’t have red pepper jelly on hand? Use what you’ve got!** Try less-sweet jellies, jams, or spreads—fig jam, cherry compote, apple butter, or plum preserves could be lovely! Or spoon on a chunkier chutney like mango or apple, other savoury spreads like piccalilli or Branston pickle, or even grainy mustard!- **Forgot to cut your slices into cracker-sized bites before you baked your sprouted toast crackers?** Don’t worry! Cut them up when they’re warm and carry on!
