Whole Wheat Crackers

Through Anna's gentle nudging, I am finally getting around to putting the cracker recipe that I love on here.  I got it off of a cooking blog about a year ago and have tweaked it a bit.  I wish I could give credit to the proper source, but I can't.  These are the best crackers though - so yummy and so easy!

Ingredients

1 c whole wheat flour
2 TBS. butter (I often replace this with the same amount of coconut oil)
pinch of salt
1/4 c water

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Put all ingredients except for the water in a food processor. Pulse the processor two to three times to blend. Add the water and run the processor until the dough forms into a ball. Flour a wooden board (I use a pastry mat), dump the dough on it, and roll it as thin as you can. Then bake on a cookie sheet or baking stone.

Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool and cut with a pizza cutter or break into smaller pieces.

You can add any herb or spice or salt that you want.  We usually use kosher salt on top and then eat them with soup.  You can also throw in almost any dried herbs and they taste fabulous.  (If you use fresh herbs, they still taste good, but come out green.)

If you make them with coconut oil instead of butter, they turn out almost the same, just a little softer.  Also, I usually double this recipe and use two large cookie sheets.  They are still gone surprisingly fast.

Thank you Chris. I made them and they were EASY. And a much better option than wheat thins!
