WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 2. Put the flour, oat bran and salt in a bowl. Mix.
• 3. Pour in the olive oil and water.
• 4. Mix until just blended.
• 5. Divide dough into two pieces for thinner crackers or leave it in one piece for thicker crackers. We like the thin ones.
• 6. Roll the dough directly onto a cookie sheet. I use the Pampered Chef pizza roller and it works great to just roll the dough right into the sheet. But if you don't have one of those you can put the dough between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and roll out as thin as possible. Then transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet.
• 7. Mark squares out with a knife to score your crackers. If you don't do this step before you bake it, you will not get nice squares once it's baked. The crackers bake up pretty crisp and will just break into odd shapes and crumbs. There have been times I've forgotten to score it and it's still perfectly edible, it just looks more like almond bark jagged shapes than square or rectangle shaped crackers.
• 8. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times.
• 9. Sprinkle with salt.
• 10. Bake for 15 - 25 minutes in the oven, or until your crackers are crisp and light brown. Baking time might be different depending on how thin your crackers are.
• 11. When cool remove from baking sheet, and separate into individual crackers.

WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour in the vegetable oil and water; mix until just blended.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough as thin as possible - no thicker than 1/8 inch. Place dough on an ungreased baking sheet, and mark squares out with a knife, but don't cut through. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times, and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp and light brown. Baking time may be different depending on how thin your crackers are. When cool, remove from baking sheet, and separate into individual crackers.

WHOLE WHEAT CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Blend ingredients and shape into a roll 1-1/4 inches in diameter.
• At this point you can refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container until needed.
• Slice into 1/8 inch slices and prick them several times with a fork.
• Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 8-10 mins in a 375 degree oven. Watch closely because crackers brown quickly. If the crackers on the outside brown before the center, remove the outer crackers and continue to bake rest.

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and add small amount of whole wheat flour to make soft batter.
• Let stand 10 to 15 minutes in warm place.
• Then add enough flour to make dough.
• Knead thoroughly.
• Divide into 3 or 4 portions and roll out very thin on cookie sheet.
• Let stand for 30 minutes and bake in slow oven (250 degrees) until lightly brown, then reduce heat and leave until dry and crisp.
• VARIATION.
• Any kind of seeds may be added -- sesame, flax, carawy or anise. Coconut or Torumel yeast make a nice variation.

100% WHOLE WHEAT GRAHAM CRACKERS OR PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt butter in microwave or on stovetop.
• Mix together dry ingredients (first 6 ingredients).
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until the dough forms a ball. Add a little water if needed.
• Line two jelly roll pans with parchment paper or Silpat.
• Put half the dough on each pan and gently flatten out with a rolling pin, covering the pan (Depending on the size of your pan, you may not completely cover it. Just roll them out to desired thickness. These don't puff up much, so what you roll out is very nearly what you end up with.).
• Gently score the crackers into rectangles with a pizza or pasta cutter.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and just beginning to brown.
• Let cool on a wire rack.

HOMEMADE WHOLE GRAIN CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix together the flour, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. If using a mixing bowl, add the oil and cut in with a fork. If using a stand mixer, mix at medium speed. In a food processor, pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water, and mix with your hands, or at medium speed in a mixer or in the food processor, until you can gather the dough into a ball.
• Lightly dust your work surface and roll out the dough, or roll out between pieces of parchment, plastic or wax paper. Cut into desired shapes -- squares, diamonds or cookie-cutter shapes -- and place on the baking sheet, close together but not touching.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned, switching the sheet trays front to back and top to middle halfway through. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool on racks.

WHOLE WHEAT SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, seeds, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in oil and 6 to 8 tablespoons water and knead until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into quarters and pat each one into a rectangle. Roll into a 10-by-4 1/2-inch rectangle 1/8-inch thick.
• In a small bowl, mix honey with 3 teaspoon water and brush over crackers. Prick crackers several times with a fork and sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake, rotating once, until crackers are golden brown and crisp, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.
• Add brown sugar and butter and cut into flour with pastry blender or 2 knives.
• Add milk gradually, tossing with fork to moisten evenly. Add a few drops more milk if mix seems dry. It should not stick to the bowl or your hands.
• Divide dough into 4 pieces and press each into a ball and flatten slightly.
• Place each cake of dough between 2 pieces of wax paper and roll with rolling pin to about 3/16 inch thickness.
• Peel off top piece of wax paper and flip dough over onto ungreased cookie or pizza sheet.
• Cut into squares or any shape you like. A pizza cutter is good for this.
• Prick all over with a fork, then bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes Watch closely because crackers brown quickly. If the crackers on the outside brown before the center, remove the outer crackers and continue to bake the rest.
• VARIATIONS: For variety, you can add herbs to the dough, or sprinkle crackers with poppy, caraway or sesame seeds before baking.
