who makes their own crackers? Well I did one Saturday night when I was bored. They only take a few ingredients that I already had in the house, they are healthy and yummy, and are pretty easy to make. They have a strong sesame taste so if that is not your thing you might want to put more poppy seeds in. Mine did not turn out as neat squares like the recepie said they would but who wants squares. My unique shapes are much more interesting. Happy Baking!Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup mixed sesame and poppy seeds
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 450
Mix all the dry goods in a bowl. Add the oil just until combined. Add the water slowly until the dough just comes together. (You might not use all the water.)
Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface and let rest for 15 min.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Then each eighth into fourths. Roll the piece on a floured surface until it is very thin. Put piece onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake 4 minutes, flip and bake 2-3 minutes until brown around the edges.
Place on a cooling rack, then enjoy. They are especially good with cheese.
