Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cracked wheat
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cracked wheat, salt, and baking powder.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together into a slightly sticky but workable consistency.
If desired, fold in sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough as thin as possible, about 1/16 inch thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into small squares or rectangles, approximately 2 inches wide.
Carefully transfer the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a small amount of space between them, though the crackers will not expand much during baking.
Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over the crackers, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them on their own or paired with your favorite dips!
