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? 🙂
Homemade Crackers Ingredients:
- flour
- sugar
- salt
- paprika
- garlic powder

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.

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.

Mary says
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?
Miss Judy says
I just asked myself the same question! I don't see an answer... I am still asking myself how I might improvise...
Anna says
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!
Janet says
Would love to try this recipe but have problem understanding the weight/measurement for the flour. Is it cups, grams or ozs.
Thank you in advance Janet

I've been looking for a cracker recipe that used crushed pecans and was slightly sweet and came across your recipe. I admit I changed it and it's close to perfect! I left out the pepper, garlic and paprika, substituted 1/2 cup crushed pecans for 1/2 cup of flour. Followed all the other directions and came out with a slightly sweet/nutty cracker that is going to be perfect for a cream cheese spread topping! Thank you!

I love Wheat Thins - your homemade versions may have me seeking therapy - especially if peanut butter is involved. 😀 (Gorgeous photos!)

Another winning cracker!! Still amazed you did these at home. You're going to put Nabisco out of business. 🙂
