WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS
Light and crisp whole wheat crackers you can easily make at home. Using a pasta machine to roll out dough helps to make an amazingly thin cracker worthy of the store-bought kind. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine flour and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix, adding oil to coat flour and slowly adding water until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Roll out dough using a pasta machine or a lightly floured rolling pin in small batches until dough is very thin; about 1/16- to 1/8-inch thick.
- Lay dough on an ungreased baking sheet and score using a knife, making sure not to cut all the way through. Use a cookie cutter to make crackers in the shape or size that you prefer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crackers are just browning on edges and centers are dry, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before placing in a storage container.

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS
When I make up a recipe of this, it's gone within an hour at our house. So yummy! And mostly healthy, too! I always make 2 recipes, in the hopes that there will be some leftovers the next day to put in the kids lunchboxes (in place of the usual sandwich). I usually make these to accompany soup, but sometimes I just make them for a snack.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Put the flour, oat bran and salt in a bowl. Mix.
- 3. Pour in the olive oil and water.
- 4. Mix until just blended.
- 5. Divide dough into two pieces for thinner crackers or leave it in one piece for thicker crackers. We like the thin ones.
- 6. Roll the dough directly onto a cookie sheet. I use the Pampered Chef pizza roller and it works great to just roll the dough right into the sheet. But if you don't have one of those you can put the dough between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and roll out as thin as possible. Then transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet.
- 7. Mark squares out with a knife to score your crackers. If you don't do this step before you bake it, you will not get nice squares once it's baked. The crackers bake up pretty crisp and will just break into odd shapes and crumbs. There have been times I've forgotten to score it and it's still perfectly edible, it just looks more like almond bark jagged shapes than square or rectangle shaped crackers.
- 8. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times.
- 9. Sprinkle with salt.
- 10. Bake for 15 - 25 minutes in the oven, or until your crackers are crisp and light brown. Baking time might be different depending on how thin your crackers are.
- 11. When cool remove from baking sheet, and separate into individual crackers.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.
WHOLE WHEAT SEEDED CRACKERS
Making these big, pleasantly scraggy crackers involves nothing more elaborate than a basic whole wheat flour dough and a quick toast in the oven. Great on their own, the speckled snacks are even more enticing on a cheese board next to a wheel of something creamy.
