Smoked Salmon And Brie Poppy Seed Crackers Appetizer Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

• 1 y ½ cups self rising flour + ¼ cup for kneading
• 3.4 oz. Butter, cubed
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. Sugar
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1 cup water at room temperature
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsps. Poppy seeds
• 8 oz. Brie cheese
• 8 oz. Smoked salmon
• 2 cups arugula
• Fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375F
2. Place the flour in a large bowl, making an indentation or hole in the center. Add the butter, oil, sugar and salt, mixing with a fork and breaking up the butter until you get the texture of breadcrumbs.
3. Form the dough adding water one tablespoon at a time as necessary, mixing with your hands until a firm dough ball forms that separates easily from the walls of the bowl.
4. Sprinkle your counter top with flour, and transfer the dough. Knead for about 1 minute until well integrated then cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough to about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into the shape you want your crackers to have, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Whisk the egg and 1 tbsp. water together, and brush the crackers with the mix lightly. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake 10-15 minutes until barely golden. Keep an eye while baking as different ovens may cause the crackers to bake more quickly.
7. Once the crackers have cooled, assemble your appetizers by placing a slice of  Brie, a few of arugula leaves and a thin slice of smoked salmon
