AI Makes A Better Looking Cracker Than I Do But Mine Taste Pretty Darn Good (includes recipe)
Today was my first try at baking crackers. Turned out to be a simple process. Which is not to say that the basic recipe doesn't need some tweaking for our taste buds.
The basic recipe is simply simple:
- three cups flour (white, whole wheat, coconut... your choice).
- 2 teaspoons salt.
- 2 teaspoons sugar.
- mix well!
- add 1 cup more or less of water mixed with 4 tablespoons of olive oil (or coconut oil).
- mix it to a firm consistency that doesn't stick to your fingers.
- roll it out about the thickness of a saltine cracker. (really thin)
- using a fork? poke holes in the individual crackers
- flour the baking pan and crowd on the crackers.
- lightly baste with water before putting in the oven and maybe add finely chopped herbs or nuts.
- bake at 300F + or - for around 15 minutes on the low rack.
- when they smell good and look right take them out and cool on a rack.
I'm thinking next time I will add some fried garlic bits?
This recipe can easily be cut in half if you want to experiment with a smaller batch.
My taste buds say yes to cheese or peanut butter, but others might like jam or jelly.
