Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Pizza Cutter or sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups flour whole wheat, fresh ground, or all-purpose
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika regular paprika works as well
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • sea salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Measure flour and seasonings into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or two butter knives until it looks like pea-sized clumps.
  • Add water and honey, stir until just combined. Pro Tip: A few crumbly or dry pieces are fine, they'll incorporate as you knead the dough together a few times.
  • Place the ball of dough on a baking sheet or stone. Roll dough out until it's 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch thick. Pro Tip: Press harder from the center of the dough and lighter as you reach the edges to try and maintain the same thickness throughout.
  • Use a pizza cutter and cut into desired shapes.
  • Pierce each cracker with the tines of a fork to keep them from puffing up.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt or additional seasonings and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the outer crackers to keep them from burning and return the rest to continue baking, if needed, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container and store for up to a week.

Tips for the Best Crackers
  • If you don’t roll the cracker dough thin enough, they won’t be crunchy, but still delectable.
  • The edges will be thinner, remove them and bake remaining crackers for another 2 minutes.
  • Leave crackers on baking sheet to cool, they’ll crisp up as they cool
  • To make these a soaked traditional recipe, add 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar to the recipe and let sit for 8 to 12 hours before rolling out.
