Home made crackers!
2009
The other day while reading blogs, I came across www.ceramiccanvas.com blog. He had made home made crackers that he had read about from a book called Turquoise by Greg and Lucy Malouf.
I said to myself, I’ve made home made bread, home made english muffins, I think I will try these crackers! And it was so easy to make!
Here’s what you will need:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. kosher salt (I used sea salt)
1 tsp. sugar
2.5 TB unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk, plus 1 TB. for later
1 large egg
Mix of dill, sesame and poppy seed (I didn’t have any dill, so I omitted that)
I’ve actually had sesame and poppy seed for the longest time, I store them in my freezer, so I can use them whenever I want and it keeps them fresh.
I combined the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. I added the butter and using my hands, just kind of broke up the butter into the flour. Add the 1 cup of milk. His suggestion was to knead by hand for 5 minutes. I used the dough hook on my kitchen aid and mixed it for 5 minutes.
Cover it with wax paper and leave it for an hour.
After the hour, take the dough ball out and divide it into 4 equal parts. Take one piece and put it on a flat surface dusted with flour. The other 3 pieces, place back in the bowl and cover until ready.
Roll out the dough as flat as you can and transfer to a cookie sheet covered with foil.
Using a pizza cutter, I just cut the dough into strips, then again to make squares.
In a small dish, beat 1 egg and the remaining 1 TB. of milk. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the dough with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with the poppy and sesame seeds and bake at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes.
I was so excited about how good they turned out. Very light and crispy! Once they are fully cooled, you can store them in an airtight container. Serve with your favorite dip or tompenade!

nice photo-these look great and ‘snappy’ – I made homemade ‘cheese its’ once they were fun and tasty…
Those sound great!! I think I could handle this recipe
Great recipe, they look like they turned out great! I have never thought to make home made crackers before but the recipe looks really simple!
Those look great!
I’m very impressed you made your own crackers! They look really good and I love the sesame and poppy seeds on top!
The crackers look awesome! I can just imagine all the wonderful foods you can pair them with!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I’m so glad you led me, in turn, to your fantastic blog! I’m SO excited about your beautiful crackers – I’ve wanted to try making crackers for the longest! Thank you for the great recipe!
I haven’t tried purple asparagus – they sound fantastic! I have tried white asparagus, though, and they were quite lovely – a bit more delicate in flavor – although they looked a little funny to me, without any color at all… :-p
Those look really great! Something I would enjoy very much!
Yum! My mind is spinning with all the possibilities of toppings for homemade crackers now. Plus it actually seems pretty straightforward and simple.
What a wonderful idea-I really never thought of making my own crackers, these look soo easy and seriously delicious! Thanks for the recipe-can’t wait to try them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog I’m so happy to have found yours. I could use some food inspiration because we’re starting to eat the same things on the same days of the week like we’re 80 years old or something
Can’t wait to look through your archives!
Wow! That sounds so good! I read it twice to make sure there weren’t any insanely difficult steps. Homemade crackers?!? Sounds so fancy! Definitely trying this!!!
Wonderful! Mmmhhh, with a good hummus!

I love homemade crackers, they’re so much better than store bought!
