In challenging our household to move toward eating all real food I decided to try making our own crackers. We enjoy relaxing at the end of the week with some locally made cheese and crackers. I was ready to try making my own crackers.
There are numerous recipes online, I decided to keep it simple for my first attempt.
Homemade Crackers
Maria’s Farm Country Kitchen
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (ground from soft wheat berries)
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup warm water
1/3 cup olive oil
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the flour, salt, warm water and olive oil in a bowl, and stir until all the flour is absorbed.
It will feel more like dough than batter. Take a baking tray with edges and grease it well with olive oil. Put the dough on the tray and smooth it out to cover the whole bottom. Use your hands or use a rolling pin, whatever works better.
Take a knife and cut the dough into whatever shape you would like, I cut it into little squares.
Sprinkle the top with salt or another seasoning of your choice. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
The crackers will harden up after they cool. Store in an airtight container.
I am so excited at how easy it was to make crackers! The possibilities of seasoning are endless! The trick is to roll the dough thin enough and let it cook long enough so the crackers are crispy. My dough was not exactly even so some of the crackers were a little thicker and not as crispy. They sure don’t last long!
