Homemade Crackers Recipe
Caraway Crackers
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour, plus more for kneading/rolling*
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds (or fennel, celery seed, sesame seeds)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional)**
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
Instructions
Set oven to 325ºF. Get a baking sheet ready with parchment or a Silpat
Combine flour, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, salt, baking powder in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the oil and combine with a rubber spatula until it’s in rather small bits, with some dry flour. Add about half the water and mix. Add enough to make a dough.
Knead dough for about 2 minutes until smooth. Roll out very thin 1/4″ on floured surface. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon seeds and a large pinch of salt. Gently press into the surface. Cut into squares or rectangles. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes until crisp. Makes about 36- 1 1/2″ crackers
Notes
*Or 1/2 cup whole wheat flour + 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
**Omit baking powder for a thinner, crisper cracker (my preference)

thank you for the nice recipe, especially the idea of adding caraway. Crackers are a great way to get comfortable with some different kinds of spices.

And furthemore, let me tell you that this recipe is from my handy dandy friend, Hilah over at Hilah Cooking. Hilah and I have never actually met before, but she used to live in Austin, and is totally a Texas girl at heart, AND we have a mutual friend, AND Hilah is teaching me how to cook with her book Learn How to Cook. So you can see how we are friends, right?
