The base of this recipe comes from The Homemade Pantry by Alana Chernila. I no longer buy crackers from the store because they can't measure up to these. I add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese to give them a zip. You can also add some other spices depending on your taste. Experiment, have fun with it!

How To Make wheat crackers

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the two flours, baking powder, millet, flax, salt, garlic, Italian spices and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the 1/2 c plus 2 T. olive oil and combine with a fork. Slowly add 1/2 cup water,mixing with your hands as you go. Knead the dough with your hands in the bowl for two minutes until it is smooth and very workable.
  • 2
    Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, press into a flat disc, and roll with a rolling pin until the dough is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Use a shotglass to cut out crackers. Repeat until all dough is used.
  • 3
    Transfer the cut dough to ungreased baking sheets and sprinkle each cracker with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-22 minutes, switching the position of the sheets and rotating them midway through, until the crackers are hard to the touch. Cool on a wire rack. NOTE: If you have a convection oven, you do not need to rotate the baking sheets.
