CRANBERRY ALMOND "RAINCOAST" CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• Place dried cranberries in a small glass bowl with 1 - 2 TB orange juice and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Drain before using.
• Measure all fruits, nuts and seeds into medium bowl, set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt.
• Add the buttermilk, brown sugar and honey to flour mixture and stir a few strokes. Add the drained cranberries, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seed meal and stir just until blended.
• Pour the batter into two 8"x4" loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
• The cooler the bread, the easier it is to slice really thin. You can leave it until the next day or chill in the refrigerator. Slice the loaves as thin as you can and place the slices in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Heat the oven heat to 300° F and bake them for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes, until crisp and deep golden. Place on racks; if still flexible, return to oven for another 10 minutes. Try not to eat them all at once.

RAINCOAST CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans or several mini loaf pans, for a smaller crisp. Measure out fruit and seeds and chop nuts and any herbs and set aside. If you are using raisins, you can plump them if you like by soaking in boiling water for 10 minutes and then draining before adding to recipe) In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the buttermilk, brown sugar and honey and stir a few strokes. Add the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and flax seed. Add your fruit and nuts as per the recipe specifications above. Add any herbs as specified. Stir just until combined. Pour the batter into two greased 8 x 4" loaf pans (or several mini loaf pans). *If making Salty Date and Almond, sprinkle salt on top of loaves before baking. Bake for about 35 minutes (less for mini loaves), until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack. Once loaves have cooled, wrap or place in a freezer bag and put in freezer for at least several hours (to make them easier to slice thin). When ready to bake, remove from freezer. Slice the loaves as thin as you can and place the slices in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 300° F. and bake them for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes, until crisp and deep golden. Remove to a cooling rack to cool and crisp up. Recipe makes about 8 dozen crackers.

RAINCOAST CRISPS-2-APRICOT-HAZELNUT CRISPS

• 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 300°F and bake them for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes, until crisp and deep golden.
