Tea-time Triangles (Baked cumin crackers)

I haven't posted anything in a long time And thats needs to be corrected now.
Having said that, i am back now in the blogging world.. Yay.

When I thought it was summer already.. All of a sudden i saw clouds everywhere... and then it started raining. And in this weather all i wanted was a nice cup of tea and sum munchies like this. Crunchy, Crispy and Perfect. 
These Crackers goes perfect with tea. And let me tell you a secret.. They are BAKED! 
I know right.. Guilt free and Oil free. 

Ingredients

All purpose flour- 2 cups
whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Cumin seeds-1/2 tsp
Carrom seeds - 1/2 tsp
Crushed black pepper - 1/2-1 tsp( as per your taste)
Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Warm Butter - 6 tbsp
Water to knead (I used 1-1/4 cup, but it depends on the flour too)

Method

1. Dry Roast the cumin seeds in a skillet over medium heat until they change color and you get a nice Aroma. 
2. In a large bowl, Add flour, carom seeds,cumin seeds, salt, pepper and baking soda and mix well. Add warm butter and mix with hands or a spoon to make a crumbly mixture.(it might take 2 minutes)
3. Add water a few spoons at a time and knead into a smooth dough.  (Not too soft..not too stiff). Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes. 
4. After it has sat for a while Knead it again to make a smooth dough for 2 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into small equal sized balls. 
6. Roll out each ball into a approx 4 inch circle. Fold to a half circle. And then fold again to make an uneven triangles. 
7. Place on lined sheet/Baking tray. Repeat the same all the balls.
8. Alternatively to save time, you can also roll out a larger ball of dough into a thin bigger circle. And roll it out to form a cylinder.Now using a pizza cutter or a Knife, cut them equally. (See picture)
9. Preheat oven at 350 degree F and Bake the crackers for 12-15 minutes. Flip the crackers upside down and bake for another 2-5 minutes or so. The small crackers might take less time to crisp up then the triangular ones.. Bake only until the crackers are just lightly golden on the edges. 
10. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for upto 2 weeks.
