Whole Wheat Crackers
You are going to love these homemade whole wheat crackers because they are super easy to make, they save a lot of money, and they are much healthier than many store-bought crackers.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon liquid honey must be runny
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup cold water + 1-3 teaspoon more as needed
- coarse salt for on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the salt and flour until well combined. Using a spatula or wooden spoon add the honey, olive oil, and ¼ cup of cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time just until all the flour is mixed in and it forms a dough ball. Don't overmix (if it starts to become crumbly at any point you can place the dough in the fridge for 10-30 minutes). Split the dough into two balls.
- Take a piece of parchment paper or silicon baking sheet the size of your baking pan and place one dough ball on it. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin roll out the dough into a thin large rectangle. If needed cut off the rough edges to make a better rectangle. My baking pan was 10.5 inches by 15.5 inches.
- Sprinkle the top of the dough with sea salt (or whatever seasoning you choose to use) and lightly roll over the dough a few more times to press the sea salt into the top of the crackers. Now using a dinner knife cut into 6 rows the long way, and 8 rows the narrow way (like shown in the photo above).
- Repeat steps _ with the other dough ball or place it in the fridge to make more crackers later in the week.
- Bake for 10 minutes until starting to look darker in color. They may need 2-7 more minutes depending on your oven and how thin the crackers were rolled so watch closely near the end of baking time.
- Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
Notes
Roll thinner for crispy crackers. If they are thicker they will be chewier. Make it according to your preference.
See above in the blog for different flavor variations you can make.
Prep ahead: If you want to snack prep these crackers you can make the dough then split it into two balls and freeze each ball wrapped in plastic. Then when you want fresh crackers let the dough defrost on the counter for 2-4 hours. Then roll, cut into squares, and follow the baking instructions in the recipe. Or you can make one dough ball into crackers and freeze the other!
