You can make Homemade Crackers in under 20 minutes. Super easy and way better than the store-bought kind!

The perfect topping for these crackers is my Homemade Pimento Cheese Spread or my Cranberry Jam.

HOMEMADE CRACKERS

Just in case you are not a fan of wheat thins, or have texture issues, or simply want a cracker but don't have whole wheat flour on hand, here is a recipe for simple homemade crackers. I took the recipe for Homemade Wheat Thins and switched the white whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. In case you were wondering (and I was) if it works - it does! And so wonderfully! You can add whatever spices you like to the dough. I added ground black pepper, garlic powder and paprika.

So all you need is probably already in your pantry. In just under 20 minutes you can enjoy a nice batch of homemade crackers. Who's in? 🙂

How to make Homemade Crackers?

  • Place dry ingredients in food processor and process for 20 seconds, until all combined. With the food processor running, drizzle in the water until the dough forms a ball.
  • Transfer the dough onto a flat surface and roll out very thin, yet not see-through.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled out dough into 1 and ½ inch squares. Place squares on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with additional salt, if you like them salty. Bake until the edges start to turn golden brown.

    Very crunchy like chips, very nice salty snack, DOSENT fluff up in the oven so you can place them really close together.

      You can mix them by hand or a wisk, takes a little longer, at most a minute.

    I definitely didn't make them thin enough, BUT they were delicious regardless, just needed a few more minutes in the oven! I will absolutely be making these again, hopefully, this time rolled out to the correct thinness. Thank you!!

    How long will these last? I’m wondering if I can make a bunch and keep them for a month or two.
    Thanks

    Once I took the crackers out of the oven, they became soft and not crunchies like a cracker should be.

    This recipe looks absolutely lovely!! However, I was wondering if there was a way to make them without a food processor involved. I don’t have one, is it possible to make them by hand or in a kitchenaid?

        Hi! You can grate the butter with a cheese grater and try to combine the ingredients until they form a dough. I just find the food processor much easier for this. I hope this helps!

    Would love to try this recipe but have problem understanding the weight/measurement for the flour. Is it cups, grams or ozs.
