Here’s a simple recipe for homemade crackers:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (optional for extra texture)
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour (if using), salt, baking powder, and seeds (if using).
- Add Oil and Water: Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly firm but pliable.
- Roll Out Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out as thinly as possible (about 1/16 inch thick). The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
- Cut Crackers: Use a knife, pizza cutter, or cookie cutter to cut the dough into squares or your desired shapes.
- Bake: Transfer the cut dough to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before storing. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Enjoy your homemade crackers!
