Ingredients

  1. 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
  2. 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  3. ¾ teaspoon salt
  4. ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  5. 1 cup water
  6. salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour in vegetable oil and water; mix until just blended.
  3. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch or less. Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet, and mark squares out with a knife, but don’t cut through. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times, and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp and light brown. Cool on the baking sheet, then separate into individual crackers.

Great base. Must roll thin. First batch did not cook through even at 30 min, no crispness, second batch has a nice crisp texture, but must roll almost paper thin.
Matthew Williams
the first time i made it, i made it too thick, and it was still good, but too thick. The second time I made it thinner, and it was a lot better. I also added rosemary to it, which made it even better

I changed the recipe because I have an abundance of buckwheat flour. I added 1/4 cup c,heese flour, 1/4 oat bran, 1/2 cup ground flax seed, fresh basil, and sibstituted chicken broth instead of water. They tasted great.

I love how you have so much wiggle room, you can play around a bit with thick ones and thin ones and various shapes. I used a few animal cookie cutters on them to make animal crackers and honestly, I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Not sure what went wrong… They were good right out of the oven, but later they were tough. I either mixed/kneeded too long, didn’t bake long enough, didn’t roll thin enough, or something I might try them again, but not soon.
Daniel Taylor
did not care for the taste at all
Christina Powell
My first time making these and quite pleased. I used the exact recipe for the first time and they will be great with a dip. For ‘eat by themselves’ snacks I think I will try an herb or two.
Brandon Roberts
Good basic recipe. Add to the flavor by adding seasame seeds, onion powder, etc.

I followed the recipe but found that the dough was much too dry without adding some additional water. I also found like many posters that you had to cook it for much longer than the recipe called for. I would also suggest splitting the dough in half and rolling out each half since a single roll was too large for my largest cookie sheet. I was not especially happy with the result and may try at a higher temperature next time to get a better crispy cracker.

Added sesame seeds and they are very savory crackers!!
Crystal Lindsey
This is a great recipe! However, it was kind of dry. When I went to try to roll them out, the dough wasn’t wet enough. I added 1 teaspoon of water then tried to roll it out then added another, and so on and so forth. My sister didn’t like them very much but my mom did. I wouldn’t add any more spices or anything else (other than water like I said). Hopefully this review was helpful!

I’ll make this again; nice little cracker. Thin is key, the thicker they are the longer they take to cook and the harder they are. Rolled thin, these are marvelous. I even made a version for my dogs, using aromatic spices that aren’t exactly appealing to my wife but the pups roll their eyes in joy. I know exactly what is in them so no worries about where it’s made or with what ingredients.

1 1/2 tsp salt, sub veg oil for olive oil, add pepper, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp garlic powder, roll out extra thin. On cookie sheet cut rub the top with olive oil, with pizza cutter, sprinkle with salt, Parmesan, and rosemary.

I loved this recipe! I doubled the recipe, and I also added a small amount (about 1 T.) of Toasted Sesame Oil to the canola oil. This was an easy recipe, and the crackers are delicious. I may try some Oat Flour along with the whole wheat flour next time. I used a high quality and very fresh whole wheat flour for this recipe.

I wanted to make a cracker using the acorn mash we had for a 5th grade project. I used the mash and no additional water. I used the AP flour as well. Used my kitchen Aid. Came out great ! I kneaded & rolled thin and with a ravioli zigzag cutter cut into diamonds on the diagonal. Poked with a fork then I spritzed Very lightly with a water sprayer and sprinkled very lightly with coarse Kosher salt. They were wonderful. Hope the kids try them. Took 30 minutes (rotating) to bake to a crispy finish.

Followed the recipe first then tweaked it to my liking the second time around. I like the recipe but the crackers are a little dry but this recipe is versatile enough to create your own flavor and that’s exactly what I did this time. I added chicken seasoning to the dry mix for flavor and sprayed some canola oil on them. Lastly, I used powder cheddar for that final flavor!
Diane Love
I am making these to go in Holiday gift baskets with a variety of homemade delights: 3 Cheeses and 3 crackers; 3 kinds of tamales; root beer float and mocha chocolate mint fudges; peanut butter cups, mounds bars, caramels, peppermint bark; 3 kinds of rice crispy treats; cake pops; 8 kinds of cookies (mostly meringue-type). What is the best way to store these crackers and for how long do they keep their freshness?
Earl Velazquez
Loved these, even if I did forget to salt lightly. Great snack option just by themselves. Some other reviews I read have very creative suggestions and I will try some but I think I will just keep the base just as it is.
James Larsen MD
i didnt much care for this recipe.
Jasmin Johnson
These were a lot of work and the end result was disappointing. The dough was very tough/dry and difficult to roll out. I wouldn’t attempt these unless you have a pasta machine like other reviewers mentioned using. The dough needs to be like paper-thin in order to get the crackers crispy. Also, I added 2 teaspoons of dried basil, garlic powder, extra salt, and used chicken broth instead of water and mine still only had a “hint” of flavor. These are a nice idea, but I won’t be making them again.
Brenda Rios
I think I made mine a little to thick, oops, but besides that, this is a really good recipe! On some of the crackers I sprinkled honey powder and cinnamon, yummy!
