Homemade Crackers:
3 cups whole wheat flour (freshly ground preferably)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tblsp dried herbs or 1/2 cup fresh herbs (don't be afraid to use extra herbs depending upon how flavorful you want your crackers)
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Step 2: Add your water and oil, stir together and then split into 2 separate balls (for 2 baking sheets).
Step 3: Roll out each ball onto a greased cookie sheet, decide how thick or thin you want the crackers to be...if you are wanting them for dipping and spreading cheeses and sauces then make sure you make them thick enough. Then cut the crackers the size you want (rolling pizza cutter works great).
Step 4: Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Start checking them at 15 minutes and you may need to pull out the crackers along the sides and let the center crackers cook longer. Make sure you don't let the outer crackers burn...unless you like burnt crackers :)
Step 5: Enjoy!! Gourmet Crackers for PENNIES!! The most expensive part is probably the cost of running your oven :)
Love it!!! You never cease to amaze me. I know the feeling of everytime we leave the store without buying something because the prices are getting too crazy. Can't wait to try homemade crackers!
