Homemade Saltine Crackers Food

HOMEMADE CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Put the Cheddar, flour, butter, salt, seasoned salt and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Use a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool before packing up.

FIRE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container.
• In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, peppers, and garlic powder.
• Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
• Continue to stir to prevent the pepper from settling on the bottom of the bowl.
• Spoon mixture evenly over crackers, like drizzling icing on a cake.
• Close lid tightly and flip the container over every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes. Lightly shake back and forth to make sure all the crackers are coated.
• Store in a ziplock bag. Will keep for about a week -- if they last that long!

• place on an ungreased cookie sheet& prick the dough with a fork several times and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake at 375 for 12-20 minutes until golden brown, but be careful not to burn!

• Mix together the flour and baking powder.
• If you are adding seasonings mix those in with the dry ingredients.
• Cut butter into flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
• Add the milk and knead gently to form a ball.
• Divide in 4 parts and roll out paper thin on a floured surface. The thinner they are the crisper they will be.
• Cut the dough into squares or desired shapes. (a pizza wheel works great for that!)
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and prick all over with a fork.
• Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with salt (or cracked pepper ..or..)

HOMEMADE SALTINE CRACKERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the melted butter and water to the flour mixture. You may have to use your hands. Mix well.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible, approximately ⅛-inch or thinner. Cut into cracker shapes and place the dough pieces in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
• Bake on the center rack in the oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.
• Allow the crackers to cool. Serve at room temperature.

ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Add almond flour, water, ground flaxseed, and sea salt into a medium sized bowl and stir together until the mixture turns into dough.
• Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a second piece of parchment.
• Pat it out with your hands and then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. You'll want the dough to get pretty thin - about an 1/8 of inch thick. Try to keep form the dough into a rectangular shape, but it's okay if it's not perfect.
• Once the dough is rolled out, remove the top sheet of paper and sprinkle a bit of flaked sea salt over the dough. Use your hands to press the salt down to help it stick. This step is optional, but the flaked sea salt makes the crackers really pretty.
• With the top sheet of parchment removed, use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the dough into small squares. I made mine about 1/2 -1 inch. If you want to get fancy you can use a tooth pick to create a little hole in the center of each cracker.
• Carefully transfer crackers (still on parchment paper) to a baking sheet and bake the crackers for 20-25 minutes or until the crackers turn golden brown and crispy. The pieces on the outer edges will get brown faster than the center pieces. You can transfer those that are golden to a cooling rack and put the pan back in the oven to bake the remaining crackers.
• Let the crackers cool completely, either on the baking sheet or on a cooling rack. Enjoy immediately after cooling.
• Place any leftover crackers in an airtight container or bag. Crackers will keep on the counter or in the pantry for about 4-5 days.

HOMEMADE SODA CRACKERS

Steps:

• Try Chuck's homemade soda crackers and you'll never go back to the store-bought ones.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; stir to dissolve and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the yeast mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend. If the dough is sticky, add sprinkles of flour until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough until it is soft and has an elastic consistency, about 5 minutes. Add sprinkles of flour to control the stickiness. If using a mixer or a food processor, the dough will form a soft ball around the revolving dough hook and clean the sides of the bowl. Add flour, if necessary, to firm up the dough.
• Drop the dough into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour and up to 18 hours (the longer the better.)
• Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18 by 6 inches and no thicker than 1/8-inch. Fold the dough from the short ends, brushing off the excess flour, to make 3 layers for extra flaky crackers. Roll again using the rolling pin.
• Prick the dough with the tines of a fork to help cook evenly. Evenly cut the dough along the edge of a ruler or yardstick with a pizza or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
• Place the crackers close together on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt from 12-inches above the crackers to distribute evenly.
• Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crackers. Check the crackers several times during the baking period to make certain those on the outer edge of the baking sheet are not getting too brown. If so, switch the ones on the outside with the ones in the middle.
• Remove from the oven and brush the crackers with melted butter. Let cool on a metal rack.
