Ritz Crackers From Scratch Food

HOMEMADE RITZ CRACKERS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and salt until combined.
• Add solid coconut oil and continue to pulse.
• Add avocado oil and water and pulse until the mixture forms a sticky ball.
• Remove dough from food processor and wrap in plastic wrap. Rest 15-30 minutes in the fridge. (This will help it roll out!)
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Cut chilled dough ball in half. Re-wrap one half and return it to the fridge while you roll out the other half.
• Lightly flour a sheet of parchment and roll out dough between sheets of parchment. Roll as thinly as possible-less than ⅛ of an inch is ideal.
• Cut rolled dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter, or slice into squares with a knife. (I used a 1½ inch fluted round cookie/biscuit cutter.)
• Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment and lightly sprayed. Poke a few holes into each cracker with a toothpick or skewer. (This will prevent the dough from poofing in the oven!)
• Collect excess dough, re-roll, and continue to cut out shapes until complete. (If dough won't roll, let it rest 10 minutes in the fridge and come back.)
• Continue process with other half of dough, until all crackers are cut.
• Brush cut dough shapes with egg wash (or melted butter/coconut oil) and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
• Allow to cool completely before enjoying!
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 week.
• Yields around 90 to 100 homemade Ritz crackers.
