Thin wheat crackers

"C" is for crackers
No , I coudn't STOP eating these crackers ! ; They are So good, thin and crispy like a cracker should be .Made with whole wheat flour .I use brown sugar (not honey), canola oil and milk and brushed the crackers with water only (no egg at all). It's easy to mix the dough by hand and play with him later ..
Thin wheat crackers קרקרים דקים
Thin wheat crackers
 /Latimes.com  -מתכון בעברית Adapted from "Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor" by Peter Reinhart.3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or 1 teaspoon kosher salt)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus extra as needed
1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk (you can also substitute soy or rice milk as well as buttermilk)
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (you can also use brown or white sugar)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola, corn, soy, peanut, etc.)
1 egg - I use water only
Coarse sea salt for garnish
H O W:
1. In a mixing bowl or by hand (like I did) mix the salt with the flour. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, honey (or brown sugar,thats what I add) and oil. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir with a large spoon until the dough forms a ball and all the flour is absorbed. The dough will be very soft.

2. Knead the dough for a few minutes on a well-floured surface, adding more flour as needed until the dough forms a smooth ball and feels soft and supple but not sticky, like modeling clay.

3. Heat the oven to just below 300 degrees.(=150C] Line 2 baking pans with baking parchment . Divide the dough into three pieces and form each into a ball. Set two of the dough balls aside and roll out the third. Dust the counter with flour and also the top of the dough, pressing it with your hand to flatten it. Use a straight rolling pin to work the dough to a thin oval or rectangle less than one-eighth-inch thick. Every few seconds lift the dough and dust under it with more flour and dust the top as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to the counter or the pin. If the dough resists and shrinks back, let it rest for a few minutes and move on to one of the remaining dough balls. Repeat the rolling process with each piece of dough.

4. Combine the egg with one-half cup water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the dough with egg wash and lightly sprinkle with coarse sea salt. (I've brushed the dough only with water !) Cut the dough into desired size for crackers with a pizza cutter or with a knife or pastry blade . Transfer the crackers to the pans, placing them very close together (they will not rise or spread). Place the pans in the oven .Bake the crackers until they are light golden-brown, 22 to 24 minutes total , until the crackers are golden brown and stiff, not flexible. Remove from the oven and leave on the pan until cool and crisp.

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls שבלולי קינמון עם גבינת שמנת בבצק
FOR THE DOUGH:
1 1⁄4-oz. package active dry yeast
1⁄2 tsp. plus 1⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup milk, at room temperature
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
1⁄2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 3⁄4 cups flour, sifted, plus
more for kneading
3⁄4 tsp. fine salt
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room
temperature, plus more for the pan
FOR THE FILLING:1⁄2 cup sugar (use less it's too much)
1⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
1⁄4 cup finely chopped pecans (I use almonds)
1⁄4 cup finely chopped walnuts (I use almonds)
1⁄4 cup raisins
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp. fine salt
1⁄8 tsp. ground cloves
2 tbsp. maple syrup
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
 

H O W

Make the dough:
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a hook, combine yeast, 12 tsp. of the sugar, and 14 cup water heated to 115°. Stir to combine and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add remaining sugar, milk, light brown sugar, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined, 1 minute. Turn mixer off and add the flour and salt. Mix on medium speed until the dough just comes together. Turn mixer speed to high and knead dough for 4 minutes.
Add the butter and continue kneading until dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 6 minutes.
Remove bowl from the mixer, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place. Let the dough rise for 1 12–2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
 
Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the sugar, dark brown sugar, pecans, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, salt, and cloves in a large bowl; stir to combine. Stir in the maple syrup. Set filling aside.
 
Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a heavily floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it's no longer sticky, adding more flour as necessary, about 1 minute.
Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10" x 10" square. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with a rubber spatula until it's smooth and spreadable.
Spread the cream cheese evenly over the dough square; then fold square into thirds as you would fold a letter to fit it into an envelope. Take the open ends of the resulting rectangle and fold into thirds again, to make a smaller dough square. Invert the dough so that the seam is face down and, using the rolling pin, gently roll into a 10" x 20" rectangle.
Turn the dough so that the short sides are parallel to you.
Brush the top of the dough with half of the melted butter. Drizzle the reserved filling over the dough, leaving a 1" border at the edge farthest away from you. Lightly press the filling into the dough.
Using your hands, lift up the bottom edge of the dough and roll it forward into a tight cylinder. Place dough cylinder, seam side down, on a cutting board and, using a thin, sharp knife, trim off the ends; cut cylinder crosswise into 8 equal-size slices.
Nestle the slices, cut sides up and evenly spaced from one another, into a buttered 9" x 13" light-colored metal baking pan.
Cover pan with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to let rise for 2 hours. (Alternatively, the rolls may be refrigerated overnight.)
 
Heat oven to 375°. Uncover the rolls. (If refrigerated, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.) Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the rolls comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the pan of cinnamon rolls to a cooling rack; brush with remaining melted butter. Let cool for 5 minutes while you make the Buttermilk Glaze. Dip the tines of a fork into the glaze and drizzle all over the rolls.
Serve immediately.
