Top each cracker with a piece of Havarti cheese and a few pear slices. Add blue cheese crumbles, and fresh thyme. Drizzle with honey and serve.
¼ cup blue cheese, 8 slices havarti, 8 pieces multigrain gouda crackers, 2 medium pears, ¼ cup honey, 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Multigrain Gouda Crackers
Combine flour, whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sugar, yeast and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed slowly add ½ cup warm water and mix until the dough comes together in a ball in the center of the bowl.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup whole wheat flour, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon instant yeast, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup warm water
Turn dough out on floured surface and knead by hand until a smooth round ball forms.
Place in a large oiled bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size 1 to 1 ½ hours.
When doubled in size lightly coat the backside of a full size 18” x 13” sheet pan and turn dough out into the center. Using your hands and a heavy rolling pin (or whatever you can find that works!) roll and stretch dough to the edges of the baking sheet. When as even and thin as possible let rest at room temperature 10 – 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Brush dough with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil + sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
½ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ cup gouda cheese, ½ teaspoon flax seeds, ½ teaspoon hemp hearts, salt
Bake until evenly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on sheet pan then remove and break into pieces. Best used fresh. Or, cover and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
Hemp hearts and flax are optional. Feel free to use whichever mix of grains and seeds that you have.
