A well-topped cracker is a delicious cracker, but it makes no sense to sprinkle your crackers with gourmet finishing salt, seeds, or another topping only to have them tumble off the crackers once they’re baked. That’s why I’ll remind you in the instructions to gently tamp down toppings with the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to adhere them to the cracker dough. When heavier toppings like the seed mixture on the “Everything” Flatbread Crackers come into play, I use an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water) to help adhere the seeds to the dough. Egg wash also lends crackers a dressy sheen once they are baked; so whenever you want an elegant cracker, don’t forget your friend egg wash. Once you’ve made egg wash, you can keep it in an airtight container for a few days for future cracker batches.
