Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole grain flour, plus ¼ – ½ cup flour for flouring surface
- ⅓ cup + 2–4 Tbsp water
- ¼ tsp salt
- sea salt for topping (optional)
- Herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Using your hands, combine flour and ⅓ cup of water in a medium bowl. If adding herbs, add 1 tsp per batch. Mix well until all the flour is wet. The dough needs to be stiff, but add additional water 1 Tbsp at a time if the dough is too stiff.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Using a rolling pin, roll half of the dough out onto a lightly floured silpat mat. Roll the dough to each edge and corner of the mat, rotating, flipping, and using flour as needed to prevent sticking. Roll the dough as thin as possible for a crunchy cracker, or leave it slightly thicker for a chewier cracker. Repeat with other half of dough.
- Score the dough into desired size using a pizza cutter or a knife. Prick holes onto each cracker using a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 10-15 minutes (10 min. For thin crackers, and 15 for thicker crackers), or until the crackers are medium brown and begin to pull up at the edges.
- Remove from the oven. Eat immediately, or the next day. Store in a sealed container.
Notes
- I make this recipe with freshly ground flour. You may need to adjust your measurements on flour and water.
- But, only go up or down by a teaspoon at a time. Use just enough water so the flour is wet but the dough is stiff.
- This will allow you to roll it out easily, instead of pouring the dough onto the back. When in doubt, use less water. Remember that you can always add more, and if you do, add just a teaspoon at a time.
