Recipe Yield: Approximately 200 1/2 inch square crackers.
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Blend flours, sugar, salt, and spices in a food processor until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together oil and water until emulsified.
-
With the food processor running, slowly pour the oil and water mixture into the flour mixture until it forms a smooth ball of dough.
-
Divide the dough in half and roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 inches by 14 inches, or the size of your largest cookie sheet, and approximately 1/16 inch thick. Remember, the thinner, the better.
-
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a cookie sheet by draping it over your rolling pin. Don’t worry if it gets slightly distorted during transfer.
-
Using a long, sharp knife, trim the dough into a neat rectangle and score it into 1 1/2-inch squares, being careful not to cut all the way through.
-
Prick each square three times with a fork and sprinkle with kosher salt or freshly ground sea salt according to your taste preferences.
-
Place the cookie sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the edges have started to brown, and blisters are forming on the top surface.
-
Remove the crackers from the oven and loosen them with a large spatula before flipping the entire sheet of crackers over in one piece.
-
For easy flipping, you can use another cookie sheet by placing it over the baking sheet and then turning both over before sliding the crackers back onto the original baking sheet.
-
Return the crackers to the oven and bake for an additional 6 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are well-browned. If the outer edges brown first, simply snap them off and return the rest of the crackers to the oven.
-
While you don’t want to burn the crackers, they need to be nicely browned all over to achieve the perfect crispiness.
-
Slide the sheet of crackers onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, break the crackers apart along the scored lines.
-
Store the Faux Wheat Thins in an airtight container, with a tin being the preferred storage option for maximum freshness.
Enjoy these homemade Faux Wheat Thins as a delightful snack or a tasty accompaniment to your favorite dips and cheeses!
